We continue with this 4-parts series with another 30
criminals worth mentioning. This is the second of a 4-part series, a total of
108 criminals in all....
When Leigh Ann Moody, a Jacksonville, Ala.,
veterinary assistant arrived at work in April 2010, she made a bizarre
discovery. It wasn't a stray animal. Moody allegedly found Roman Angel Salinas (pictured) passed
out under a blanket in the veterinary clinic's break room. Police say Salinas
broke in and shot himself up with Xylazine, an animal sedative. He also made
himself at home, eating food from the office refrigerator and watching porn on
a laptop, according to cops. "He took one of our laptops and was watching porn and
taking pictures of it with our camera," Moody said. "The laptop was
closed at first, and we thought maybe he had been looking up how to take the
drugs, but then we opened it, and nope! That's not what he was doing." But shooting up proved to be the dumbest move of all,
because, according to Moody, the Xylazine could have easily killed him. Salinas,
18, is charged with burglary.
Elmer R. Daniels crashed his van into another vehicle in
April 2010 and decided to kick back and take a load off by drinking a beer
while a state trooper finished up the paperwork, according to Florida Highway
Patrol. Daniels (pictured) refused to perform any field sobriety
tests and allegedly admitted that he was drinking in the van and had sucked
back a couple of cold ones. The incident report also claimed Daniels tried to switch
seats with his wife after the crash, but the passengers in the other car
fingered him as the driver Daniels was charged with eight counts of driving under the
influence with property damage or injury and one count of driving while his
license was suspended as a second offense.
As a general rule, no one is happy to receive a parking
ticket, but Alexander J. Bailey, of Medinah,
Ill., allegedly took that
dissatisfaction to a whole new level. According to the village employee who processes citations,
Bailey, 22, returned his parking summons "smeared with feces." Police
charged Bailey with disorderly conduct. Bailey was released after paying a $5,000 bond.
Shane Morgan Hall (pictured) was caught by the owner of a
gas station in North East, Md.,
dangling from the duct of the station's ventilation system. Police say Hall crawled through the vent, got stuck and set
off a fire extinguisher which sprayed powder all over the store. Hall allegedly told officers he was playing hide and seek on
the roof with some other adults and decided to go in the ventilation system,
and the other players eventually gave up looking. The owner noticed something was amiss when he opened the
store and spotted a pair of feet dangling from the bottom of the duct. Hall, 21, also reportedly gave the police two false names.He
is charged with two counts of submitting false information to a police officer,
two counts of burglary and malicious destruction of property. He was also wanted for failing to appear for a drug count.
Lawrence Gallegos (pictured) and another man took off
running when an Albuquerque,
N.M., homeowner allegedly caught
them trying to steal his 42-inch television. But Gallegos had left his backpack at the scene of the crime
and actually had the nerve to come back to claim it, explaining to the
homeowner it contained important paperwork, according to police. The homeowner gave the suspect his backpack. But, the
"important paperwork" had already fallen out: documents related to
Gallegos' stay in the nearby Bernalillo
County Metropolitan
Detention Center. He was arrested nearby a short time later.
Patricia Ann Cox, 46, set fire to a Lewiston,
Me., police station in order to be near her
boyfriend, who was in jail on drunk driving charges, say police in the Pine Tree
State. In April 2010, Cox (pictured) allegedly used a lighter to
set fire to a poster depicting a chart of common crimes. After they put out the blaze, police reviewed surveillance
footage and decided Cox was the fire-starter with love in her heart. They found
her at the county jail, visiting Allen R. Dunton, her boyfriend. Cox has been charged with arson.
Juan Pablo Vargas-Sanabria (pictured, left) and Damian
Miguel Regalado, (right) were arrested in March 2010 for allegedly trying rob a
man at knife-point in the parking lot of a convenience store in southern
Oregon. According to the victim, one of them pulled out a knife and
demanded money. Rather than give in, the man ran back into the store and called
the police, leaving the failed muggers running away into the night. When the police arrived at the parking lot to investigate,
one of the witnesses being questioned spotted Vargas-Sanabria and Regalado
getting into their car, which police say they had left at the scene of the
crime and were returning to pick up, thus defeating the purpose of the term
"getaway car." The pair was held on one million dollar bail in the Jackson
County Jail, charged with first degree attempted robbery.
In March 2010, Daniel Lee (pictured) allegedly took off all
of his clothes, donned a rubber mask and dashed through the aisles of a
supermarket, according to police in Kingsport,
Tenn. Why on earth did the 22-year-old Lee do it? Because he was bored. According to the police report, after eluding several store
employees and scooting out of the grocery store, Lee was located and arrested
in the bathroom of a nearby Hardee's. Employees told the police Lee had entered
the restaurant wearing nothing but an orange hoodie (possibly pictured) and
asked for "any piece of clothing."
In March 2010, Patrica D. Edwards, 51, walked into a bank,
handed a teller a note and left with cash before being apprehended three days
later, according to police in DeLand,
Fla. But it's the motive that makes this story. In a phone interview from jail, Edwards, pictured at left on
the bank's cameras, told a TV reporter that robbing the bank was on her
"bucket list" adding, "Because I think everybody should have a
bucket list of things they want to do before they expire." Edwards was held at the Volusia County Jail on two counts of
robbery.
After being pulled over for driving erratically in Martin
County, Fla., in March 2010, Douglas Malcolm Macarthur, pictured, was asked to
produce his license, but is said to have done something unconventional instead. He ignored the request and instead accepted a cup of vodka
that was offered to him by one of his passengers, sipping it as the officer
watched, according to a sheriff's deputy from Palm Beach County. Macarthur, 40, then went for the gold by allegedly crawling
under the deputy's car, and, when extracted, trying to bite the officer. He was taken to jail on a DUI and other charges.
While a man was trying to get sex from a hooker, Charles
Hart, pictured, pulled up in what appeared to be an unmarked police car with a
siren and lights flashing, which scared away the john... But Hart, 37, was actually impersonating a police officer when he attempted to
coerce this particular lady of the night; and she turned out to be a real
undercover vice detective, according to cops in Louisville, Ky.
Hart was arrested when the real police established he was an impersonator.
John White, pictured, hit a trifecta of stupidity this week,
according to police in Orem,
Utah. He allegedly stole two telephones from a gas station attendant and fled. White accidentally left a slip of paper with an address written on it at the
crime scene, say police. They headed to that location to see if they might find
White there. But on the drive over, a young man flagged down their squad car to ask for
directions to the very same address where they were heading. A closer look at
the lost stranger revealed him to be none other than John White. He was
allegedly carrying pot, not to mention the stolen cell phone, when he was
caught asking for directions.
Albert Bailey, pictured, allegedly phoned the People's
United Bank in Fairfield, Conn., to inform them that he was about to rob the
branch and demanding tellers prepare a bag of money to make his hold-up easier.
The workers then called police, who arrested the pair in the parking lot when
they arrived to collect the cash about 10 minutes later. Police described the suspects as "not too bright."
In January 2010, Sylvester Jiles pulled what may be the dumb
move of the century by trying to break into the Brevard County Jail in Florida. He was caught
hopping a barbed wire fence and hospitalized with severe cuts.
Jiles had been released from prison after serving a sentence for manslaughter,
but he was reportedly terrified of retaliation from the victim's family. So he
wanted back in.
In the end Jiles, 25, got his wish. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for
violating his probation.
Carly A. Houston, pictured, earned herself a police escort
to jail over the weekend after cops say she cursed, threatened, and refused to
pay a cab driver.
When the officer on duty gave the Chicago woman
a cell phone to make her one call, Houston
allegedly dialed 911 to complain she was "trapped inside the detention
facility." Houston, 29,
was charged with theft of labor or services, criminal trespass and disorderly
conduct. She was also charged with making a false 911 report.
Dustin Nelson, pictured, was found drunk, clad in a kilt and
passed out in a Racine, Wis., store after a St. Patrick's Day
celebration, according to police.
Nelson, 24, allegedly kicked in the glass and let himself into Common Scents on
Main Street
Saturday night, after a day of heavy partying. A witness called police, and
when officers arrived they ordered Nelson to put his hands up. But cops say he
flipped them the bird instead and went right back to sleep. His mug shot, alas, doesn't include his kilt.
Nelson is charged with misdemeanor criminal damage of property.
Sheriff's deputies at the Gwinnett County Jail in Georgia busted
Donna Sue Harber, pictured, for undressing and exposing her private parts to an
inmate she was visiting. Harber, 38, is charged with public indecency.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident at the same facility on the same day,
Kinnith Ray Devrick, pictured below, is said to have signed in at the jail's
visiting day, when he allegedly belonged there himself. Police say Devrick, 33,
was wanted on four outstanding warrants including possession of a weapon during
the commission of a crime and possession of marijuana.
Reportedly, Devrick's audacity didn't end there: he also allegedly attempted to
smuggle eight ecstasy pills into the visitation booth.
He was arrested on the spot.
When Lashamma Lawson of Albany, Ga.,
went to the Dougherty County Jail in March 2010, she was arrested for carrying
10 bags of marijuana in her purse, according to deputies.
Lawson, 24, was going to the jail to pick up her criminal background check for
a new job when officers searched her purse at a security checkpoint.
Lawson said she forgot the pot was in there, according to the incident report.
Lawson was charged with possession of marijuana and crossing a guard line with
a controlled substance.
Arizona
police say Jarad Desanti, George Brabakos and Robert Jeter, pictured left to
right, staged an elaborate plan to steal 200 gallons of gasoline.
The threesome allegedly used a van equipped with a false floor, siphoning
equipment and a 450 gallon tank outside a Circle K in Phoenix, Ariz.
The van, however, was leaking fuel and when an alarm at the station sounded, a
clerk called police.
When police arrived on the scene they reportedly found a gun and the three men.
Two of them were siphoning gas. Jeter was in the van passed out from the fumes.
The three men are charged with armed burglary.
Denise Rutledge, pictured, was highly intoxicated when she
drove to a jail in February 2010 to request a conjugal visit with an inmate,
according to police in Flagler County, Fla. First of all, the jail doesn't allow conjugal visits, and secondly, deputies
say, Rutledge was acting oddly enough to merit following her to the parking lot
where she reportedly failed a field sobriety test. Her blood-alcohol content
was reportedly a .256, more than three times Florida's legal limit.
Rutledge, 45, was charged with DUI and later released on $500 bond.
Irving Lloyd, pictured, allegedly robbed his former
workplace but made so many dumb mistakes that he was a cinch to nab, according
to cops in San Antonio, Texas.
Lloyd allegedly strolled into the Staffing Specialist office where he used to
work, saw the owner, went into the restroom and came out wearing a mask. He
then reportedly pulled a gun and grabbed a stack of blank checks.
He then tried to cash the stolen checks using his real name, police said.
Staffing Specialist had recently fired Lloyd for forgery.
Angel Nieves, a sworn juror, was returning to an Alabama courthouse after
a smoke break earlier in February 2010, when he placed a small plastic bag of
pot in the change tray before going through the metal detector, according to
Houston County Sheriff's deputies.
Nieves, 42, was arrested on the spot and charged with misdemeanor second-degree
possession of marijuana.
"It's amazing what people throw in that tray," one deputy said.
He was excused from jury duty.
Officials also discovered that Nieves is a registered sex offender.
Nieves is now permanently removed from the list of qualified people to serve as
jurors.
A dumb move by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper has left him
on the wrong side of the law.
Prosecutors say Paul C. Lawrence, pictured, issued hundreds of bogus tickets to
unsuspecting drivers in an effort to boost his numbers to the bosses. He allegedly
used information from drivers he had stopped in the past to draft new fake
tickets.
Authorities became suspicious when dozens of ticketed drivers started to lose
their licenses and complain they didn't know anything about the citations. Many
were able to prove that they were somewhere else at the time.
Over 200 traffic citations Lawrence had issued since November 2009 were
dismissed and the FHP has set-up a central hotline for people filing complaints
regarding phony tickets.
Lawrence, 38,
was charged with 22 counts of official misconduct. In July 2010, he was found
guilty and sentenced to 364 days in jail.
The FHP maintains that their officers do not work on a quota system.
A Sullivan County, Tenn., sheriff's deputy is in the
doghouse, both literally and figuratively, after getting arrested on a drunken
driving charge in January 2010.
A Florida Highway Patrol officer reportedly found Samuel Bledsoe, pictured,
vomiting in his car with a blown out tire. The trooper said Bledsoe could
barely stand and he had to explain a field sobriety test to him 18 times, a
test which he ultimately failed.
Meanwhile, according to the report, Bledsoe was trying to explain to the
trooper he was a fellow officer, and demanded a ride home.
When the trooper arrested him instead, Bledsoe allegedly became so belligerent,
the officer had no choice but to put him in the "K-9" cage of his
cruiser to take him to the hospital.
Bledsoe allegedly told the trooper, "I hope you are proud of yourself for
this and costing me my job."
Bledsoe, 47, was indeed fired.
Kenneth Hook, pictured, may have thought he was being very
clever when Prescott, Ariz., police pulled him over and arrested
him on suspicion of DUI.
He allegedly told officers he was suffering from a medical condition related to
a seizure disorder, so they took him to the hospital.
But when the arresting officer returned to the hospital to finish
investigating, Hook, 41, was reportedly leaving the emergency room wearing only
his hospital gown.
According to police, Hook then attempted to flee through a barbed wire fence,
ripped the hospital gown off his body and then fled naked through an open
field.
The officer caught up with him a short time later.
Jose Armando Rodrigues, pictured, 32, allegedly called 911
twice from his cell phone to claim someone was trying to kill him. But in
reality, police say, he was in a friend's car that had broken down on I-95 and
got tired of waiting.
According to Boyton Beach, Fla., police, Rodrigues admitted. "OK,
I will tell you the truth. Nothing happened. I just want a ride to Miami and figured you
would give me one."
Rodrigues is charged with abuse of the 911 system and giving false information
about a crime to a law enforcement officer.
In January 2010, a suspected burglar in Florida kicked his escape attempt up a notch
by using a cutting-edge mode of transportation: a pedal boat.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Schaumburger,
pictured, attempted to break into several homes in Palm Harbor but after one of
the residents gave chase, Schaumburger stripped down to his underwear, hopped
on a pedal boat and tried to escape across Lake Tarpon.
The boat was broken, though, and started to take on water. So Schaumburger
called 911 and told the sheriff's office of his plight.
One witness said, "He was screaming like he was scared to death. I don't
think he knew how to swim."
When deputies got to Schaumburger, 20, he was allegedly on the phone telling a
dispatcher he was trapped in a pedal boat and could not make it to shore.
Schaumburger was charged with armed burglary, attempted burglary and aggravated
assault.
Jonas Garcia Leon Jr., pictured, was arrested at his home
Sunday night about 15 minutes after he allegedly robbed the Clark's Market
grocery store in Aspen, Colo.
Police say Leon entered Clark's at 8:44 p.m. and approached a cashier demanding
money. Despite a yellow bandanna over Leon's face, the cashier and two
other employees immediately recognized him, a former employee of the store whom
they knew as "Junior." The workers initially ignored Leon, but when
he allegedly pulled a handgun out of his pocket, the cashier forked over the
dough. When the suspect ran away, the employees called police, identified the robber
and told investigators where he lived.
Police went to Leon's
home where they found him still sweating. He consented to a search and officers
found a gun plus $1,000 in a Clark's grocery
bag.
Leon,
28, admitted to the crime, cops say.
Robert Smith, 32, allegedly phoned Marlborough, N.H., police
in January 2010 to report he had given $150 to Jeanna Mecure, pictured right,
and a "third party" to have sex with him, but she hadn't lived up to
her end of the bargain and he wanted his money back.
Mecure, 22, was also arrested and charged with prostitution.
After nearly four months on the lam, Facebook phenom Craig
"Lazie" Lynch, pictured, was officially "blocked." He was
finally nabbed by Scotland Yard in Kent in January 2010.
In September 2009, Lynch, 28, had escaped from a U.K. prison where he had been
serving a seven-year jail term for aggravated burglary. He had become a global
internet sensation, mocking officers with updated pictures and clues to his
whereabouts on the popular social networking site.
He posted a Christmas picture last month showing him wearing a strand of
tinsel, holding a cooked turkey and flipping the bird.
Lynch's antics racked him up over 40,000 friends on Facebook, inspired other
fan sites, a series of t-shirts and a tribute song.
