Year after year, dumb crooks wow news readers with their poorly planned heists, ill-conceived capers and failed getaways. So here's some prime mug shots of criminal suspects who are anything but usual.
1. Police in Pueblo County, Colo., didn't have a hard time linking burglary suspect Anthony Brandon Gonzalez to a home invasion in May. The victim of the crime said one of the perps had the words "East Side" tattooed on his upper lip.
2. George Jolicoeur, a 600-pound Floridaman with a long record of scamming restaurants and convenience stores, pleaded no contest April 1 to five charges that he sought refunds by making false claims, including one that a $50 order of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven was moldy. Prosecutors declined to seek jail time, deciding Jolicoeur was simply too fatto incarcerate. If he had been jailed, the state would have been responsible for his medical bills.
3. Here's what happens when you mix "Twilight" and moonshine. According to police, Andrew Whiteman drunkenly attempted to break into a drugstore on April 17, then claimed to bean immortal vampire who was more than 100 years old. The 21-year-old allegedly told police in New Russia Township, Ohio, that he wanted to drink their bloodand eat a female law enforcement official's kidney.
4. Guy Edward Jones wanted a hot meal, but he ended up in the cooler. The Sissonville, W.Va., man is accused of burning down his house after getting angry because his wife didn't have dinner on the table when he returned home on May 23.
5. Assault suspect Jesse Thornhill's distinctive body modifications -- including those horns -- make his mug shot easily recognizable. The 28-year-old Tulsa, Okla., man is accused of trying torun over his landlord in a minivan.
6. "Thou shall not steal" is one of the Ten Commandments, and that probably goes double if you are using acrucifix to smash open a church donation box. Florida police have accused George Albert Horn of doing just that, after a Fort Lauderdale church was burglarizedin late June.
