The Lighter Side of Criminal Behavior

On the lighter side of crime information, we’d like to share some crazy crimes committed by some – not so intelligent criminals. Some were flat out dumb and others just happened to pick the wrong day to perpetrate the wrong crime and paid for it. Who said Providence doesn’t have a sense of humor?

A man was arrested after throwing a brick into the Plexiglas window of a jewelry store. The brick bounced right back and hit him in the head which KO’ed him until local police arrived!

A gang of drug smugglers cleverly decided to use a propane truck to cross the border from Mexico into El Paso, Texas. They had emptied the propane and concealed about 3 tons of marijuana inside the tanker truck. As things sometimes turn out, the smugglers didn’t realize, that they had spelled the name of the gas company incorrectly on the truck! BOOM!

When arrested for stealing a car, the judge asked the suspect, “how do you plead?” Instead of pleading guilty or not guilty the man said, “Before we go any further, judge, let me explain why I stole the car.” The judge issued his ruling in record time.

Two service station attendants refused to give any cash to a drunk robber, the man threatened to call the police. The clerks still refused, so the robber called the police and was arrested.

Los Angeles police got a break out of a dumb suspect who couldn’t shut up during a lineup. The detectives asked every man in the lineup to repeat: “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot!” The suspect shouted, “That’s not what I said!”

Oakland police spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had “holed up” in his home. Finally, after police fired ten tear gas canisters into the home, officers discovered the man, standing beside them, shouting to come out and give himself up.

A 20 year old woman was arrested for robbing a Howard Johnson’s motel. She was armed with an electric chainsaw, which wasn’t even plugged in.

Two Michigan bandits entered a record shop waving revolvers. The first one shouted, “Nobody move!” When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

When his revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a robbery in Long Beach, California, the robber looked down the barrel and tried it again. This time, it worked.

A man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street. Well, he got much more than he’d hoped for it seems. Police arrived at the scene to find a man sick and curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. Police said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home’s sewage tank by mistake.
