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.

I just wrote a post on Truly Odd Planet about Dumb Criminals and I included several videos.
I was actually able to find enough dumb criminal videos that I thought I’d share a few over here too.
It’s one thing to be a dumb criminal, but it’s quite another to be a stupid one! Watch as this guy breaks into a pizza parlor by coming in a window. Unfortunately his exit from the store doesn’t go quite as smoothly!
Dumb Criminal – That’s gotta hurt!
Robber is headbanging himself
If there are any future criminals planning a heist reading this, here’s a tip – breaking in through the chimney to commit a robbery is not the way to do it!
Dumb Criminal Caught in Chimney

Here’s another tip for would-be thieves – Don’t rob a security camera store! Duh!
Dumbest Criminals Ever Rob a Security Camera Store
Pulling your shirt over your head like Beavis isn’t going to keep you safe from the 24 working security cameras on sale in the SECURITY CAMERA STORE, you blasted idiots.
Please let me know if you enjoy these kind of stories and if you like watching videos occasionally as I’ll make this a regular feature.

Perhaps the young PA woman thought that the 71 year old veteran, whose friend happened to be in a wheelchair would make an easy target. Unfortunately for her, she thought wrong. Oh so wrong.
Harry Kopenis managed to chase and tackle the 22 year old woman whom he says robbed him at an ATM machine. Then, with help from his wheelchair bound friend they held her until police arrived.
“Maybe she thought I was easy prey. She didn’t think I was going to get her. Well, senior citizens aren’t easy prey,” Kopenis said.
Police charged Erin Vanmatre, of Kingston PA, with robbery, harassment and other offenses.
Vanmantre was on probation for conspiracy to commit theft was locked up on $10,000 bail.
Kopenis suffered a stroke five years ago and is on a variety of prescription meds. He says he’s not really sure how he was able to catch the girl, yet pointing to the sky he said “It was a source up there who gave me the energy.”
He had gone to an ATM near his Kingston home Monday morning and withdrew $100 when Vanmatre allegedly knocked him down, took his money and fled.
Kopenis’ friend, Kevin Lamb, was nearby in his electric wheelchair. Both men took off after her. Kopenis got her to the ground and Lamb grabbed her leg.
“She wasn’t going anyplace then,” said Lamb, 56, who uses the wheelchair due to breathing problems.
Kopenis said he thought about not pressing charges, but she continued to resist and gave him a kick to the leg.
The men weren’t seriously injured.
