Yet Another “Stupid Criminal Trick”

| May 5, 2015

Well, we have another “brilliant criminal” story.

Seems as if a certain “Levi Charles Reardon” was wanted by the police in Montana for felony forgery.  To publicize that fact, the police in Cascades County put a wanted poster of the guy on their Cascades County Crime Stoppers Facebook.  They then listed the poster as one of their “April Most Wanted”.

Apparently Reardon really liked the wanted poster when he saw it online – so he liked the wanted poster.

From his Facebook account.

Turns out that was not such a good idea.  You can probably guess the rest.

Yep, you’re right:  Reardon was apprehended without incident on Friday, 24 April 2015, and made his initial appearance in court on Monday, 27 April 2015. His arraignment is set for Thursday, 7 May.

Hey, no one ever said most criminals are the “sharpest tools in the shed”. (smile)

I sure hope this brain trust isn’t a breeder…it would be a sin for that strand of DNA to spread.

As was told to me by my first training officer, we don’t catch the smart crooks, but the jail is always full.

Where’s the clorox? The gene pool needs cleaning.

That pool doesn’t need cleaning, it needs to be filled in and paved over!

Can we have him neutered?

Well certainly no extra points for brilliance, although there is a certain panache to being so indifferent you actually mark your own wanted poster with your actual facebook account…

Well panache or abject stupidity…perhaps it is the latter.

Somedays I weep for your species….

Just out of curiosity, VOV…did you mean to say ‘…YOUR species,’ instead of ‘OUR species’? It came across magnificently, whether you meant to phrase it that way or not. Sort of Vulcanish, if you know what I mean. 😉

Indeed I saw the typo and thought it appropriate…I was able to pass a lie detector test while stating my birth planet was in the Alpha Centauri system and unpronounceable in any known human language.

Showoff…
I come from Jupiter’s largest moon and a race of intergalactic ne’er do well’s that are refugee’s from the Mos Isley founding klan.
That is how I was abducted by the ant people of Rigel 6 and sent to the Ice Planet Hoth to hunt alien Rooskies on snowshoes with Gamma Goats as a replacement for the Ton Ton’s.
Those damn Gamma Goats kept attracting these mooslummer pukes with wood that thought they were actual living beings on four legs and not mechanical pieces of rolling garbage…..
