Florida commissioner robbed pantless
September 9, 2002 Posted: 12:47 PM EDT (1647 GMT)
POMPANO BEACH, Florida (AP) -- City commissioner Ed Phillips didn't lose his shirt playing cards this week. He lost his pants.
Phillips had to head home in his underwear after being robbed at gunpoint in his own district Sunday night. The stick-up followed a card game with friends.
Phillips said a car pulled up with two men wearing ski masks. One waved a gun and the other forced the men to hand over their pants and their wallets.
The robbers got away with the clothes and all the money inside the pockets. Phillips said his wallet contained about $50.
Now, he says his No. 1 issue is fighting crime.
