<p> Surrounded by cops on a Virginia highway, accused drug dealer
Alfred E. Acree Jr. did what any self-respecting suspect would
do: he ran like hell. Diving into a dark wood at night, Acree
was no doubt amazed by the swiftness of his apprehension by
county sheriff's deputies--not realizing that he had signaled
his presence brilliantly with his brand-new L.A. Gear Light Gear
athletic shoes, battery powered so as to illuminate the wearer's
every move. Officers say $800 worth of cocaine was found in
Acree's pockets. L.A. Gear, naturally, prefers the story of a
seven-year-old in Ripley, Tennessee, who disappeared with her
three-legged dog Coco, only to be located by police who spotted
the constant glow of her sneakers.
