Crazy Criminals by L. A. Keller
This month’s crazy criminals are from the great state of Georgia, known for its peaches, peanuts and Vidalia onions as well as the home state of President Jimmy Carter. Georgia did not produce a wealth of dumb criminals, but it was interesting to find that, according to the Atlanta Journal reporting on WalletHub’s annual ranking of best states to raise a family, the state ranked number 44 in personal finance in 2017. Generally, that might lead to more crime but perhaps there just aren’t as many stupid ones.

A con artist specializing in producing counterfeit money and false documents was really happy with the new printer he bought from a Target in Augusta, GA, so he decided to take it back and ask for a different one. His demand was satisfied but unfortunately the clerk noticed some “work” the customer forgot to remove from the old printer—a few counterfeit bills that, of course, cost him his freedom.

A 21-year-old prison release was caught in a bind when he realized he didn't have a ride home. His solution: carjack a woman right in the prison parking lot. He was caught when he realized the car was a manual transmission and he didn't know how to drive it.
A 28-year-old wanted to rob a Golden Pantry, and while he waited to be alone with the cashier, he filled out a job application. The problem was, he wrote down his REAL information on the application, including his uncle's number! Needless to say, it didn't take long to find this dumb criminal.
In Albany, Georgia, bandits got away with a truck with a
53-foot trailer worth over $100K. What's even more crazy is that they got away
with 39,000 pounds of Folgers coffee! That coffee was worth $139K! Maybe they
have a black market for coffee in Athens?

It began innocently enough
for Ashley Huff. The 23-year-old was riding in the passenger seat of a car when
police in Gainesville, Georgia, pulled the car
over for a routine traffic stop. When cops searched Huff’s bag, they found a
spoon that was covered in a mysterious residue. It was dirty, Huff explained,
because she had recently eaten SpaghettiOs and placed the dirty spoon in a bag
in order to return it to a friend. Officers thought it might be
methamphetamine, so they conducted a field test — which reportedly came back
positive. Huff was charged with possession of methamphetamine and spent two
weeks behind bars before being released.
Huff was later thrown back in jail in August, where she remained for a month and a half until more thorough lab results on her spoon came back. They revealed that she'd actually only been guilty of possession of SpahettiOs sauce all along.
Happy Trails,
Leslie
