I often write dumb criminal stories here but I think this is the first case of a dumb car jacker.
Claude King, 31, apparently carjacked an SUV, crashed it twice and end up getting lost as he escaped the crime scene. He then proceeded to call the police from a Palm Springs Florida pay phone, confessing that he stole the GMC Envoy last Tuesday night.
“Um, I committed a crime,” he told the police dispatcher. “I stole a vehicle.”
He was unable to tell the dispatcher where he and the vehicle was located when he asked for officers to respond to his location. He told the dispatcher “I couldn’t even tell you,” he said. “I don’t even know where I’m at.”
The Boca Raton police eventually found King waiting on a curb. He’s now being held without bail in the Palm Beach County Jail.
