Han Sup Shin, the purple latex glove enthusiast who's been stalking San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, was arrested in Union City after he allegedly broke into a house in San Ramon in pursuit of a former lover, then tried to run over the absent lover's roommate with his car. Cops found Shin hiding in a closet at his parents' Union City home; he must have acted out still more, as he's also charged with battery on a peace officer. The Chronicle further notes that Shin had been admitted to a psychiatric facility in 1998, but soon escaped. And so ends our mockery of an obviously highly disturbed individual. Even our cold, shriveled hearts feel bad for the guy at this point.
