Many criminals are simply not-so-bright people on what is likely to become the most embarrassing day of their life. Here's a daily look at some of the world's least competent crooks.
Sex for World Series Tickets
Some people will do anything -- and I mean anything -- to get to see the World Series. Police in Bensalem, Pa., say 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein offered sex for a chance to see the game, and arrested her on prostitution charges.
Fingered by a Leech
The 2001 robbery of an elderly Australian woman has stumped police... but one piece of crime scene evidence has paid off after all these years: a leech. New DNA technology has allowed them to use blood from the leech... which led them to Peter Cannon. Cannon has pleaded guilty to aggravated armed robbery, according to the Associated Press."Sexy Police Officer" Arrested
A 20-year-old South Carolina woman was arrested for allegedly trying to make off with a "sexy police officer" costume. Police say they found the costume in her purse... which makes it either a large purse or a tiny costume.
Man Arrested in Pillow Attack
When is a pillow not a pillow? When it's a biohazard. Florida police say Erik Batty's pillow could be considered "biohazardous" because he has several infections... and so they arrested him when he threw it at them.
Harmonica Attack
An Oklahoma man was arrested after allegedly beating his roommate in the head with a harmonica. Police say Decai Liu, 52, then tried to attack his arresting officers, too.
Florida Woman in Beer Frenzy
A Florida woman is accused of trying to choke her boyfriend... because he refused to get her more Natural Ice beer, according to TCPalm.com. Police say Andrea Bathgate, 31, also threw a table leg through the window, shattering it, during the tirade.
Real-Life Weekend at Bernie's
We all have different ways of dealing with death... but driving a dead friend around for hours is not a common coping strategy. Police in North Carolina say 19-year-old Eric Len Henry did just that when John Ferguson, 23, died of a suspected drug overdose, according to StarNewsOnline.com.
Weird Beach Assault
A Florida man who witnesses say had been drinking at a local beach pretended to drown. Then, police say he began flinging jellyfish at beachgoers. Keith Edward Marriott, 41, was "quite intoxicated," according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Robber Asks Victim Out
You just have to wonder what this guy was thinking. Police say Stephfon Bennett, 20, of Columbus, Ohio held up a woman... then returned two hours later to ask her out. The fact that he's not in the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame tells you her answer.
Ballplayer Shoots Coach
Meet our newest inductee in the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame, Deangelo Williams. Police say Williams, a pitcher, shot his coach four times after being removed from the game.
