Police: Another Case For "World's Dumbest Criminal"

(click on link for what they found....)
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=29026


Police call it a case for a "World's Dumbest Criminals" show. More than a quarter million dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana are now off the street because of a taillight oversight.

Police pulled over a car on I-30 near Bryant Tuesday night and say they found seven kilos of cocaine and 16 pounds of marijuana. The reason for the stop; the suspect didn't have his lights on.

Detective Todd Crowson with the Bryant Police Department says this case falls into the stupid criminal file because the suspect was driving in the dark. "Look at the amount of cars that go up and down the interstate, and just to happen to get one that's running without any tail lights with this amount of drug is a lucky bust," he says.

The car has daytime running lights, so the headlights were on. But if you don't turn the switch, the tail lights stay dark.

The man is from Memphis, but police aren't releasing his name. He faces two felony drug charges.

Well the idiot will get to spend some long years in prison mulling over his stupidity. Cheers to the police for getting a lucky bust. One can only hope criminals will get even stupider.

Reminds me of a story I read a few years back about a guy who stopped at a Motel to stay the night. The counter clerk got suspicious when all the guy took out of the car into his room was the spare wheel, so called the cops. Sure enough, they found several pounds of dope stashed inside.
Ya think the first rule of drug smuggling is 'Don't to anything to draw attention to yourself'.
But then, they don't call it dope for nothing...
