Dumb criminals

[KristyHall]

I love dumb criminals and dumb crime stories.

How about we share dumb stories of people trying to do something wrong and it coming back and biting them in the rear?

Here are a few I got from some articles on dumb criminals. I can't post the link because there is some mature content on the site.


"Athens, Georgia: Demetrius Robinson, 28, wanted to rob a Golden Pantry store late one night, but he needed to pass the time as naturally as possible until he and the clerk were alone, so he decided to fill out a job application. Not a bad idea, except he left his real name on the application, along with his uncle's phone number. After he robbed the store, it didn't take long for police to track him down. He didn't get the job."


"Fort Myers Beach, Florida: Amateur criminal and professional dimwit Christopher Kron created his own personal "how not to commit burglary" instructional video when he tried to rob a restaurant after closing one night. Mistake #1: He tripped the alarm when he broke in. Mistake #2: He failed to flee after hearing the (not silent) alarm. Mistake #3: When ADT called the restaurant after being notified of the alarm, Kron answered the phone. Mistake #4: He gave the ADT employee his real name. Mistake #5: When he finally got the bright idea to leave, all he took was a bottle of Grand Marnier and a beer. Mistake #6: Having gotten away with the crime, he returned to the restaurant the next day and was recognized by an employee who had seen the surveillance video. Kron was arrested on the spot."

Chertoff used Job Stimulus money to pay his client to equip his department (TSA) with pornoscanners.

Oops. Not a crime since he got away with it.

An old book store owner was walking home through the park one monday night. A robber jumped out of the bushes and held up an orange toy gun. He said "YOU! OLD MAN, Give me all your money". The old book seller pulled his pockets inside out exposing some lent and a few pennys. The book store owner told the robber he was very poor and had no money at all. The next monday the same old man and the same robber repeated the scene. Every monday night the same thing happened. One day the weary book seller asked the robber: "Bob, you've been at this for months. We've had many disscutions and you know that I don't carry what money I have with me. So why do you keep trying to rob me?" The robber hung his head and muttered "I'm still practicing my hinding and I haven't stolen enough money to buy a real gun..."


Not a story but a really funny joke

I have one that happened here locally a couple years back. A guy steals a car, gets in a police chase, hits a lampost, jumps out of the car and jumps over a fence - INTO the police yard.

This happened years and years ago.


Back when the show " Walker Texas Ranger" was big couple of men tried to rob a man coming out of a sports stadium and tried to steal his role-x. The man proceeded to beat the tar out of them. The man they tried to rob was Chuck Norris.

here is another one take a look at his mug shot

A man accused of breaking into a Farmington, Conn., home used one of the oldest excuses in the book -- make that the Good Book.

That's right -- suspect Levon Sarkisyan allegedly said God made him do it.

The victim of the break-in came home Sunday and discovered the front door had been kicked in. Inside, Sarkisyan, had allegedly caused more than $10,000 in damages by smashing a Roman statue and marble table, the Hartford Courant reported.

During his spree, Sarkisyan also showered and dressed himself in the clothes of a deceased former resident of the house, according to investigators.

When confronted by the resident, Sarkisyan allegedly said "a light from above told him to do this," and that God wanted him to help the world, according to Farmington police Sgt. Stephen Egan.

Cops charged Sarkisyan with burglary and criminal mischief, and bail was set at $50,000.

Sarkisyan, 27, has a history of bizarre run-ins with the law. This week's alleged home invasion would only add to his body of work.

Story continues below
He was arrested in 2008 for threatening Kappa Sigma fraternity members at the University of Connecticut, according to the Courant.

The dispute stemmed from a trip to Miami for two fraternity brothers and another man, paid for by Sarkisyan. While on the jaunt with them, he provided the trio with jewelry, cocaine and a prostitute, but told them to keep quiet about it.

The secret got out and another Kappa Sigma member asked Sarkisyan about the wild adventure, which triggered the threats. From there, Sarkisyan became increasingly menacing to fraternity members, which eventually prompted UConn police to provide several days of protection for the victims.

Sarkisyan got a suspended sentence and two years probation for the conflict.
