In That Book, Was He Voted Most Likely To Get Arrested In A Stupid Way?
I’m not sure if Deaquan Scott didn’t know who’s house he and his buddy were going to or if there’s more to the relationship between perp and victim than was reported or what, but I do know that this is why you should always wear a mask when you head out to commit a home …

They Don’t Teach Bank Robbery In Rehab, It Turns Out
Let’s start with the good news. Jamal Goodwin was able to sign himself out of drug and alcohol rehab. Possibly to celebrate, he decided hey, why not rob a bank? So he did, and managed to make off with a shade over $5,000 while also pulling off a successful taxi getaway. Not too shabby for …

If Only He’d Owned A TV, He Would Have Known It Was Shop With A Cop Day
So it appears we have a brand new episode of shoplift with a cop. I still cannot believe this happens this much. I guess James Walsh was feeling brave. He had been out to this Walmart the day before and had successfully stolen a TV, so he thought he needed another one, a big one. …

Swipe Right, Swipe Some Money, What’s The Difference?
Going on a date with someone and then robbing that person has definitely been done before. I think we’ve even covered a few of those cases through the years, but the details escape me and I don’t feel like spending my Christmas Eve trying to figure out where on the damn website they live. But …

How Would You Feel About Paying Me In Advance, Boss
We’ve already determined that stabbing your prospective boss is a poor way to land that dream job, and while we don’t know 100 percent for sure what happened here, I feel pretty confident that stealing his wallet when he leaves the room for a minute is going to work about as well.

I Have One Just Like That. And That. And That. And…
Pawning stolen goods to make some quick cash is something that’s been done thousands if not millions of times.

Maybe This Could Have Been Avoided Had They Asked If He Took Payment In Televisions
I’m fairly certain I’ve said this before, but it seems it needs repeating. If you’re going to take a taxi to a robbery, first of all don’t, but just as importantly, don’t stiff the driver. It won’t end well. Kenneth Burke, 46, and Timothy Foote, 38, of Ocean Township, called for a taxi to a …
Stop! In The Name Of The Log!
The police have a really hard job, but I bet that some days it’s pretty fun. Like on the day when some dude you’re chasing makes it easy for you by plowing straight into a tree and knocking himself cold. That sounds like a riot. According to the Michigan State Police, around 1:10 a.m. on …
Snitches Get Stitches, But Attention Gets Detention
“Due to snitches, everyone entering my home is subject to being searched. All cell phones and drinks will be left outside. If you’re not a snitch, it won’t offend you if I search you.” You will be shocked, shocked I say to learn that upon seeing a sign bearing those words on the door of …
