LYNCHBURG - Police are looking for a bandit armed with a chain saw.
Cory White said he was chased down a street about 5 p.m. Sunday by a man wielding such a saw. Police Cmdr. Earl Burnette said the man ordered White to pay the money White owed him, but White didn't know what the man was talking about.
So the man pulled the chain saw from the bed of his pickup, fired it up and chased White.
White said he threw all his money on the ground and the robber grabbed it and drove off.

After car chase, girl says she can't drive
WOODBRIDGE - A 13-year-old girl led state police on a high-speed chase from Springfield to Stafford because she wanted to return to her hometown in Florida, police said.
After the 50-mile chase ended in an accident, the teen-ager told troopers that she had never driven a car before, state police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said.
The girl, who recently moved to Chevy Chase, Md., with her family, apparently took her parents' light green Mercedes SL early Monday morning and headed south.
A state trooper noticed the car weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 495.
The car hit a guardrail ``at a very high speed,'' but the girl, who was wearing a seat belt, was not hurt, Caldwell said.
