Some criminals are so dumb they really should find a new line of work.

Daniel Brown, 22, of Hartselle, Ala., thought he was smart when he wore a ski mask to hide his identity from his grandfather when he staged a home invasion this past January. What went wrong? When he burst in to the house he yelled, “I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.”.

To top things off he was stupid enough to try denying that he was the man behind the mask when he was arrested.

Then there’s Glenn Vickers, 53, who was allegedly intoxicated while driving on Interstate 64 near Kanawa County, W. Va. He decided to tailgate a driver that day. Guess who he was tailgating as he weaved on the roadway? None other than Sheriff Mike Rutherford who was driving an unmarked car.

After Vickers jockeyed behind Rutherford for a while, he peeled off at an exit and flipped Rutherford the finger. He should have paid more attention to his driving though since the act of raising his finger high caused him to crash into the guardrail. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t end up hurting anyone while he was DUI.

Some people!

Break a Leg!

A man in Lantana, Fla., talked his 10-year-old daughter into jumping off a 15-foot bridge into the Intracoastal Waterway to cure her fear of heights. The girl splashed down safely. Dad broke his leg. No charges were filed. “Let this be a lesson to everybody: Somebody’s tried it, and it’s not a good idea,” said police Capt. Andy Rundle.

Someones about to have one heck of a party!

Police in Marion, Wis., might be on the lookout for a huge tailgate party. Among the missing items after burglars hit the Dupont Cheese Factory were 80 pounds of garlic sausage, 80 pounds of summer sausage, 80 pounds of beef sausage, 60 pounds of snack sausage, 30 pounds of bacon, 15 pounds of smoked beef, 48 jars of herring, 70 pounds of string cheese and a 40-pound block of cheese carved into the shape of a wedding bell. The thieves also took 12 cases of beer and 16 12-packs of soda, according to the Waupaca County Sheriff’s Department.
