Kwame Kilpatrick on trial - and on patrol thwarting break-in

Kwame Kilpatrick may be on trial, but he's apparently taken to policing the streets of Detroit.

The former Detroit mayor tweeted Wednesday that he prevented a crime when a would-be thief recognized him and stopped to ask for his photo.

But his own ongoing experience with the law apparently had Kilpatrick exercising some legal leniency.

In town for his ongoing federal racketeering trial in U.S. District Court, Kilpatrick tweeted that he caught a guy breaking into a house on the same street as his mother's, former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick.
