Stupid Criminals: 'We've Got Boobies!'

By JJ Duncan on That's how Federal Security Guard Darin Earl Wanless cheerfully announced the fruition of his master plan to his coworkers.

That plan? To capture women undressing using the security cameras placed on top of the U.S. Courthouse complex in downtown Spokane, Washington.

If that sounds like a plot point from "Revenge of the Nerds" that's because it is (skip to 0:58 ).

Wanless reportedly succeeded in his quest for 'boobies' 22 times, according to court documents. But while the Nerds got away Scot free, Wanless will have to register as a sex offender for the next 10 years.

Yeesh. Real life sucks. (More at the Spokesman-Review )

Would-Be Robber is Most Embarrassing Dad Ever

By JJ Duncan on If you think you can't catch a break, consider Stephanie Martinez.

The young Denton, Texas woman has it bad enough working as a clerk for Pizza Patron. But things just got worse the night of Friday, July 11 when a man in a wig and sunglasses walked in and demanded money.

Things turned from bad to OMFG WTF when a fellow clerk foiled the would-be robber by punching his lights out, thus knocking off his wig and sunglasses and revealing Martinez' father.

Stephanie wasn't in on it. She didn't even know it was her father, Benjamin Ramirez, until the wig fell off.

To make matters even more way terrible, Ramirez then stumbled into the getaway truck where Stephanie's mother and husband were waiting. Yeesh.

The police have said they believe Stephanie when she says she didn't have anything to do with the robbery, but that has to be little consolation for having to endure such weirdness.

Stephanie's mother, father and husband were all arrested for the incident. Here are the mug shots. (See the Denton-Record Chronicle's article here .)

Stupid Criminals: 911 Doesn't Care About Your Sandwich

By JJ Duncan on I've been to Subway enough times to know that if I want an edible sandwich, I have to make it VERY clear that I only want the tiniest bit of mayonaisse on my Cold Cut Trio.

Nothing is worse than biting into a footlong and feeling it coat your chin and shirt in that slimy discount mayo they smother all over a perfectly good sammich. I've complained. Once I even got a coupon for a free sandwich. But it never occurred to me that there might be a higher authority to whom I could voice my complaints.

I must not be nearly as clever as Reginald Peterson, the 42-year-old Florida man who became so angry with Subway's Sandwich Artists that he did take his complaints to a higher authority.

He dialed 911.

Then he dialed again when police didn't show up fast enough.

Then he got arrested for placing false 911 calls.

Peterson was not willing to compromise. His sandwich needed a police escort to be made correctly and he wasn't leaving until that's exactly what happened... or until police handcuffed him and threw him in a squad car.

Oh well, maybe the sous chefs down at County will be more attentive to the way old Reggie likes his sandwich made.

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: Copper Thief 'Never Been in a Jam Like This'

By JJ Duncan on Talk about being stuck between a dumpster and a hard place.

Gibson Cook, 56, found himself in a precarious situation when he went scavenging for scrap metal in a DIllon County, S.C. landfill. And the local Sheriff's deputies were kind enough to take embarrassing pictures.

You know what happens when you stick your hand too far in the Pringles can? That's kind of how it went down with Gibson.

He crawled and he reached and crawled and reached and when he finally grabbed that mess of copper wiring in his grimy little mitt he realized he'd gone too far. So he took the only option left to him: he screamed like a little girl until someone lifted that thing off him. At least that's how I like to imagine it happened.

""He's one of our local petty thieves," deputy Wayne Kirby said. "But he has never been in a jam like this."

Looking at Gibson's picture following the harrowing incident, he doesn't seem that fazed. At least he didn't pee his pants, which is more than you could probably say for yourself were you to be pinned beneath a two-ton metal dumpster.
