Just looking at some sites about dumb criminals, and there are some great stories. This one is funny.
----------------------------------------
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense: "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb." "Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses." The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

These are unreal:
An off-duty police officer in Newark, NJ, had a pistol-shaped cigarette lighter, which he had been using all night while drinking at a local tavern. After many hours and drinks, he apparently mistook his 32 revolver for the lighter. When he went to light his cigarette, he shot and killed John Fazzola, who was seated 5 stools away at the bar...
An unidentified man in Buenos Aires pushed his wife out of an eighth-floor window but his plan to kill her failed when she became entangled in some power cables below. Seeing she was still alive, the man jumped and tried to land on top of her. He missed... |

Woman complains to police about shoddy crack cocaine
Tue Dec 19, 7:03 PM ET
A North Carolina woman was arrested after she complained to a police officer about a batch of "bad" crack cocaine she bought, authorities said.
Eloise Reaves, 50, approached a police officer Friday in the parking lot of a convenience store in Putnam County and told him she had been sold poor quality crack and wanted his help getting her money back, police said in a statement.
"She then took the crack from out of her mouth and placed it on the trunk of Deputy Pedrick's patrol car," the police said.
The sheriff's deputy, Jeffery Pedrick, warned Reaves that if the substance tested positive, she would be arrested.
After a test came back positive, Reaves said the crack was a poor mix of wax and cocaine and that the man who sold it to her should give her money back.
She was arrested and booked into the local jail on 1,504 dollars bond, and has since been released.
Police also searched the man Reaves accused of selling her the crack, but found no drugs or money on him, they said. |

| Yeah that one is funny Samantha. I just saw that one yesterday too in my bit of surfing dumb criminals. There are also other "dumb" categories. The "dumb facts" are actually quite interesting. |
