Keystone Cops is a daily look at crime, police, public safety and drug news. Homicide totals are unofficial.

• Well, it was a fairly quiet front on the Philadelphia crime scene this weekend, unless you dig white collar crime! In which case, you are set. Vince Fumo is set to make a public statement this afternoon regarding the FBI investigation into his ties to a South Philly charity. The Inquirer reported over the weekend he’s due to be indicted as early as Tuesday. But: “Another person close to the senator said he expected Fumo to come out swinging today with a vow to fight any such charges.” This is going to be awesome. [Inquirer]

• A man’s defense when he’s accused at throwing a rock at — but missing — his neighbor? Well, here’s an interesting one: “Zowniriw admitted to throwing the rock in ‘frustration,’ but he pointed out it did not hit Bonomo. Describing himself as an ‘athletic person’ who pitched for a high school championship baseball team, he insisted Friday he could have hit his neighbor had he intended to. ‘I picked up a rock and threw it at nobody,’ he said. ‘I was upset.’” [Doylestown Intelligencer]

• After a loss to Division I youngin Longwood, Morgan State’s basketball team drove to a restaurant. After asking for 52 sandwiches with either Philly steak or chicken, coach Todd Bozeman flew into a rage. A witness: “He yelled, ‘I ain’t scared of you country bumpkins. I want my fucking money back!’” There is a warrant out for Bozeman’s arrest. The things people do when they’re deprived of Philly cheesesteaks. [Richmond Times-Dispatch]

• Bucks County crime log: “400 block Bridgetown Pk., 12:33 a.m., fish, TV, watches and clothing, no value given.” Seriously? A fish? Wow. [Bucks County Courier Times]

• Major drug bust! This should keep our streets free of illegal drugs for… ahh, too late, they’re back. [Inquirer]
