CHICAGO (AP) � A Chicago woman has been arrested at least 396 times since
1978, including 92 times for theft and an alleged attack on a City Council
member.

Over the years, Shermain Miles, 51, was arrested 65 times for disorderly
conduct and 59 times for crimes related to prostitution, among other
things, according to the Chicago Sun-Times (http://bit.ly/17FfjyZ).

She has used at least 83 different aliases and is well known among
merchants and residents in several neighborhoods on Chicago's North Side.
One florist called police about her 25 times last summer.

Miles, who is homeless, is imprisoned at the Logan Correctional Center in
Lincoln. She was arrested last year after allegedly chasing down Chicago
Alderman James Cappleman, which is a possible parole violation after a
2010 conviction for robbing a 75-year-old at knifepoint. She's due before
the Illinois Prisoner Review Board Tuesday. If it's determined that she
violated her parole, she will be behind bars until April 2014.

Her arrests have numbered so many that she is in the top 1 percent for all
current Chicago Police Department arrestees. Within the last year all her
cases have been assigned to a one community-based prosecutor.

Miles declined a jailhouse interview with the newspaper after initially
agreeing to one. In a handwritten letter to the newspaper before the
scheduled interview she described her faith and said she was looking
forward to telling her story.

Miles has spent time in area mental hospitals and participated in several
community programs. Court-appointed psychologists said Miles believes
people are trying to harm her.

One of her friends, Phelps Holmes, 59, described her as kind and generous.
Holmes, who was once also homeless, said she didn't talk much about her
past.

"She's always been a sweet young lady to me," he said.

However, Cappleman said Miles can't be released from prison without a
"highly structured" plan.

"For the sake of Ms. Miles and the community, it's time to take the next
step to ensure the community is no longer terrorized by her behavior," the
alderman wrote in a letter to the review board.

Mujo Cesic, who authorities said Miles held at knifepoint, said he wants
to see her stay behind bars.

"She should never be released," he said.

The Cook County state's attorney's office said Miles has at least 73
convictions, but often failed to appear in court.

Fabio Valentini, head of Cook County's criminal prosecutions bureau,
defended his office's handling of Miles' recent cases.

He said that when she's been charged with a felony � 10 times � she has
been convicted. He added that within the last year, her cases were
assigned to a one prosecutor available to talk to the public and
authorities about her activities.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptness.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 200% and leaves millions without health care.

Obama helped bankrupt Illinois. Democrat run Chicago closes 54 public
schools.
