Clarence Ervin had panhandled on CTA trains all night, and he looked like it.
Cold and bleary-eyed, he said he was afraid of getting caught — a surprising sentiment for a man who has been arrested 178 times, according to police and court records.
Ervin, 52, has amassed charges ranging from panhandling on trains and disorderly conduct to drug possession and assault and battery, the records show.

Heck, there used to be a homeless guy on the north side who would tell the cops to F@ck off. This guy here looks scary, though. This train goes through some mighty scary neighborhoods to finally end up in a very nice suburb.

I propose a "178 strikes" law.
