Bank Burglary Suspect Falls Through Roof, Is Arrested

(AP) – A burglar who tried to break into an ATM at a bank in San Francisco was arrested today after he hopped onto the roof of a nearby building to escape and fell into an apartment, police said. The 230-pound suspect was not seriously injured. "There was a hole in the roof where he fell through just as we were ordering him to put his hands up," says a sergeant. The man used a crowbar to try to break into the ATM inside a Bank of America branch in the Portola neighborhood around 3:45am, say police. He apparently got in through a ventilation shaft, but tripped a silent alarm in the process. He was on his way out when police arrived, and the chase was on.

Man arrested for stealing ladies' socks... for the fourth time

By JJ Duncan on Old habits die hard. Especially when they're part of some weird perversion related to womens' socks.
Meet James Dowdy. He's 36, hailing from Belleville, Ill. and boy does he want to get his mits on your socks. Dowdy was arrested Monday for breaking into a family's basement and trying to get away through the window with an armful of socks.

Dowdy has already served in time in PRISON for stealing socks. He was convicted of the strange thefts in 2004, 1997 and 1994. But with those long gaps between his sentences, you have to wonder... how many unknown victims are out there?

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe it isn't some weird perversion. Maybe this is just the guy responsible for all those times you lose just one of a pair of socks. But that just makes him more sinister in my opinion.

Stupid Criminals: Man Arrested For Impromptu Demolition Derby

By JJ Duncan on Maybe he thought they were all out to get him. Maybe he just had a bad day.

Whatever the reason, Fort Worth man Michael John Holden decided it was time to play demolition derby with his white Toyota Tundra pickup truck and no one else was privy to the information.

Late evening Wednesday, Holden allegedly began ramming his pickup straight into a number of cars in a parking lot. Then he drove to another parking lot and did it again.

Instead of fleeing the scene, Holden sauntered into a nearby bar, the Star Light Sports Lounge, where police soon nabbed the allegedly intoxicated Holden. He'd been followed by a witness who told police right where he could be found.

Witnesses do tend to notice when you go on a rampage and smash up 17 vehicles at an estimated cost of $75,000.

Tests revealed the truth. Score one for the kid!

Here's my original post (for which I'm now eating crow). I get it. You're young, you're out to have a good time, and hey, what's the harm in a little prank?Well, maybe if you're going to deliver pot-filled cookies in little baskets to police officers, do it BEFORE you turn 18!Christian Phillips is our latest stupid criminal. Under the guise of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), he dropped off the weed-stuffed goodies at not one, but two different cop stations. Reports are it wasn't subtle either.“It reeked of it,” said Lt. Thomas Cain, a Blue Mound police spokesman. “It wasn’t hard to tell. Anyone that’s been around marijuana before would have known.”(Pictured above: Christian Phillips)
