Crazy Criminals by L. A. Keller
As we move through the States, this month's craziest criminals are from Delaware. We start with the drunken burglars, add in a dash of child care workers and finish with insurance fraud. Dumb criminals come in all forms.
From Fox News on January 13, 2015:
A man returned home in Bear,
Delaware to find two criminals passed out in his house surrounded by empty
liquor bottles.
From Newser.com:
A Delaware man climbed in a rear
window of a house to rob it, and got so drunk inside he was unable to climb
back out, say police. His inspired solution? Call 911. The burglar stayed in
the house for several days, over the course of which he drank three bottles of
gin and two bottles of whiskey, before he finally decided to call the police to
extract him.
Part of the reason he had such a
hard time leaving was that he allegedly had broken in to the exact same house
in April, prompting the homeowner to replace all his locks with new ones that
require a key both from the outside and from the inside. Suspect John Finch has
been admitted to a hospital and is facing charges for both break-ins, reports
the AP.
From 1023 The Bull August 22, 2012:
On Monday, three female daycare
workers in Delaware were arrested for allegedly creating a toddler fight club.
19 year old Tiana Harris, 47 year
old Lisa Parker and 21 year old Estefania Myers were employees at the Hands of
Our Future Daycare in Dover, Delaware. And a video surfaced of them encouraging
two three year olds to fight.
Police state the video you can hear
a child crying and yelling, “He’s pinching me” when one of the women responds, “No,
pinching only punching.”
All three were arrested for
assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and
conspiracy. The daycare’s license was
suspended pending the hearing.
Finally from the businessinsider.com on July 13, 2012:
A Delaware man claimed a freak
cooking accident caused his home and convertible to go up in smoke, but police
didn't buy his Three Stooges-esque story, the Daily Star reported:
"(Nicholas) Di Puma tried to
put the fire out with a dishrag, but the dishrag caught fire, so he took one
pan and threw it out the front door, where it landed in the backseat of the
convertible. He then took the second pan and was going to throw it out, but
tripped over a box, and the pan landed on a leather couch, igniting it. Di Puma
ran outside to get two hoses, but there was only one there, so he attempted to
put out the fire in the convertible, according to the report."
A state court ordered him to pay
$37,997 in restitution and sentenced him to five years of probation for second-
and third-degree attempted insurance fraud.
