Well To Go With Dumb Laws There Have Got To Be Some Dumb Criminals Around...Then Again Aren't All Criminals Dumb? Here is a collection of just a few of the best and brightest!
1-A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.
The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first
bandit shot him.
2-A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned that there was a car phone
in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone and told the guy that answered
that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet,
and the thief was arrested.
3-In Oklahoma City, Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience store
in a district court when he fired his lawyer. Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said
Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified that
Newton was the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying, and then said, "I
should have blown your head off." The defendant paused, then quickly added, "If I'd been
the one that was there." The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommended a
30-year sentence.
4-A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the
cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch
that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag
as well, but he refused and said, "It's because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber
said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At
this point the robber took his drivers license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.
The clerk looked it over, agreed that the man was in fact over 21, and put the scotch in the
bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police
and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the
robber two hours later.
