(STMW) – Last month on the train ride home from prison, Shermaine Miles said she was done with booze — done with the old life of petty crime, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

Old habits apparently die hard.

The woman who has racked up a near-record 396 arrests picked up one more this week when she was hauled off an Edgewater street for a host of alleged offenses, including misdemeanor battery, theft, reckless conduct and drinking in public.

Miles, 52, was due to appear at the George Leighton courthouse at 26th and California Friday, police said.

“It’s sad,” remarked Ald. James Cappleman (46th), a Miles victim in August 2012.

Sir! You are speaking poorly of my FIANCE.

Like my mom always said to me, “do whatever you want to make a living, just be sure you’re the best at what you do”

Some were safe in state hospitals but some state hospitals had very bad reputations. It was the bad ones that had a hand in the shut downs. The kind of people who work in those places are nothing more than McDonalds workers.

Well at least she can always fall back on her looks.

Congratulations. Let me know where y’all are registered.

Well played.

She’s probably consumed enough in terms of taxpayer-funded resources to treat 20 cancer patients.

Doing a life sentence...two weeks at a time.

We need an opinion from Laz.

With a truck?

How IS LiLo doing these days?

Good one! The heavy hitters always keep backup equipment for the really tough cases.

[midnightcat]

I agree with you. Some people are such a mess that institutionalized living is the only hope for them. I have a cousin and his live-in girlfriend who really need that.
