A man wanted for a Kmart store robbery was arrested the other day when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.
A Chula Vista police spokesman, Bernard Gonzales, said that investigators had identified Romeo Montillano as a suspect in a December 8th robbery. Once they realized that Montillano had signed up for the February police entrance exam they just waited for him to come in to take the test.
When the man was arrested he had the gaul to ask if he would still be able to take the exam!!!
I think that would be a big NO! Instead he might end up seeing the inside of a jail cell for some time as his bail was set at $110,000.

Can you imagine yourself sitting inside your apartment when your neighbor starts breaking through your door with a chain saw?
Well that’s what happened to Jamie Zaleski when 34 year old Robert Kane who was angry because one of Zaleski’s friends parked in front of his house used a chainsaw to get into Zaleski’s house.
The incident happened in Scranton, Pa last March. Zaleski and several of his friends ran out the back when the attack began.
Police say Zaleski heard a knock at the door, asked who it was, and Kane responded, “Your worst (expletive) nightmare. Open the door or I’ll cut it down.”
Officials say, he then cut a gash in the door with a chain saw.
The defense said Zaleski never actually saw Kane wielding the saw. But a witness testified that Kane bragged about the incident, and the jury convicted Kane on Tuesday of attempted burglary, terroristic threats and other charges. A sentencing date wasn’t immediately set.

Get this … German police have a nationwide search out for a convicted drug dealer who escaped from jail by hiding in a cardboard box to be taken away for recycling plan to issue an international arrest warrant for him.
A Viersen police spokesman said the 37-year-old Turkish national, whose seven-year prison sentence for drug dealing runs to 2011, had escaped from the Willich prison by hiding in a cardboard box about to be picked up by a recycling truck.
“Shortly after the truck that he riding in got beyond prison walls, he slit open the box and then cut open the truck’s tarpaulin to escape,” said Wolfgang Wiese, Viersen police spokesman. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Police have been searching in vain for the fugitive. An international search warrant is being prepared in the event he is not found soon.
