James Walker Morales raided Massachusetts Armory, arrested
A couple of readers sent us link to the story of James Walker Morales who was arrested in New York. Turns out that he was the fellow who broke into the Army Reserve Armory in Worcester, Massachusetts last weekend. Morales used to be a Reservist at the armory, until he was arrested for raping a minor and got booted for his trouble. From Stars & Stripes;
Morales gained access to the facility through a kitchen window, and then broke into the gun vault by climbing on top of it and using a cutting tool and pry bar to get through several layers of metal and wood, the FBI affidavit says.
The electronic monitoring bracelet placed Morales “directly inside” the facility, and blood left at the scene matched his DNA, the FBI said. He cut off the bracelet Monday but was tracked to New York through his cellphones, authorities said.
A real rocket surgeon to break into the armory while he was wearing his ankle monitor. He also injured himself breaking into the vault and left blood evidence. The FBI said that the theft wasn’t related to terrorism, but that doesn’t mean that Morales would have tried to sell those weapons to terrorists if he could find one or two.

Damn, ankle monitors do work.
Less than a week…Glad we did not place bets. I was leaning towards two months for an arrest.
I was betting on at least a month, six at the most. Wearing his GPS monitor while doing it should at least get him the “Rocket Surgeon of the Month” title! And yeah, the DNA evidence will make that an open and shut case for any Prosecutor.
Which means, that if the case is handed to the U.S. Attorney for that district, Morales likely will walk with a new ankle monitor and and extended probation. U.S. Attorneys, for the last 7 years or so, don’t seem all that inclined to do anything about gun crimes. Ask anyone committing serial straw purchases. Or, lying on a 4473.
A true “Einstein”, wasn’t he?
I think I found some other video of the perp:
YGBSM…do a break in whilst wearing an ankle bracelet? That’s Bernathian.
sj: It’s actually stupider than it appears. Not all of those ankle bracelets are GPS capable. His was.
I looked up the word ‘Idiot’ in the dictionary. There was a picture of James Walker Morales next to it.
Well hell; it wasn’t the mOgEn DaViD qWeEf after all. I had thought that perhaps he went the wrong way on I-4, enroute to his wannabe lawyers house, accidentally wound up on I-95 North instead of I-75 South, and found himself out of gas, (and wine), money up in the cold frozen north. Grabbed some stuff from the armory and was trying to sell them at a truckstop so he could “continue the mission” and get back to South Florida to back up his catheter wearing buddy. This guy wasn’t any smarter, (or dumber), than the TrEeToP QwEeFeR.
I noticed that the “blogads” service that Jonn uses is really “up to speed” on targeting for their advertisers. It is known that these companies try to place their client’s ad in the most effective place. In reading through the comments at TAH, they’ve obviously been paying attention. I found this ad in the sidebar, and with the teaser word in the banner of “Spandex”.
I bet their sales go up over the weekend with all the hits on the page for our Weekend Thread observers in the DRG:

Could you post a warning with the link next time. I really didn’t need to see that.
You know, I’m sure some of them really like the male chastity gear and the lingerie for men.
QuEeFeRs probably wears that stuff… especially after an all-night bender with the DRG and a few “cock”tails…
I was wondering about that.

Can we now call him the mastermind behind the armory break-in? Let’s see. He had a GPS-capable ankle bracelet on which put him at the armory. Additionally, he was known to have been at the armory on the date of the break-in. He was captured on video, carrying a duffle bag just before the break-in. He cut himself and left DNA at the break-in point. He had and used a cell phone which made tracking him a walk in the park. Hell, he did everything except leave a business card and forwarding address at the scene. Truly a mastermind.
Previously arrested for raping a minor? Bubba & Thor are gonna make prison life absolute HELL for him as soon as word gets out about that but hey, I have NO sympathy for him at all! Stealing weapons from an Armory should get him some time in the Greybar Hotel, even in Messy-two-shits!
You would think raping a minor would have kept him behind bars, but some MA judge saw fit to release him on bail anyway. Why should this incident be treated any different?
I was thinking that he could be charged and tried in a Federal Court because a Reserve Center is a Federal Gov’t facility and tha State of Mass foo-foo might want him now because his crime involved evil scary black rifle thingies!
In Massholistan, doing a Jared impersonation isn’t so bad.
Having a gun or trying to evade taxes? Hang ‘im!
Not too surprising that it was someone with inside knowledge of the armory, nor that it was a shitbag with other issues going on.
But the fact that he actually committed a burglary while wearing a GPS ankle monitor and he managed to leave DNA behind at the crime scene makes this extra special. This is a real rocket surgeon we’re talking about, folks.
It’s a little disturbing that there is no word on whether any of the weapons have been recovered.
The guy was a tool. Doesn’t surprise me in the least it was this dirtbag. Cutting yourself and leaving DNA behind while also wearing an ankle monitor? I’d say he has issues. No one can be that stupid and not be sick mentally.
I Knew It…
Heee Hawwww
what a DUMB ASS !!!!!!!!
Screw him – where are the weapons?
PFN. Three of the stolen weapons were found in a black garbage bag near Yankee Stadium. No word on the others.
