Here There Be Stupid...

They make their mark in mug shot history
(CNN) -- Police say guilt was written all over their faces. Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man's home in Carroll, Iowa.

When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller's description blocks away, they were stunned by the men's disguises.

There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.

Here's the criminal geniuses in their mugshots:


Great job, guys. Way to raise the bar for future criminal enterprise in your town. When the tales of great capers are told; when the law enforcement conferences offer case studies, your story will be told. However, it will be as the punch line, as the comic relief to a day filled with real criminals.

You will forever be known as the cautionary example, as the guys that make people feel better about themselves because, hey, at least I never tried to break into someone's house wearing SHARPIE as a disguise...

That is all.

Stupid? You want stupid?

How about sticking up a Kwik-E-Mart with your shirt off and your name tattooed on your right bicep?

(Oh, he also had a Darth Vader mask that he did not put on but held in front of his face and kept pulling it down to look over the top).

Man, some days mom was right, should have gotten a white-shoe firm job.

Shootin' Buddy

The drawn-on Batman mask sported by Enrico Fermi there on the right is just fricking priceless.


(WV: "hoaspan". The width of one hooker. As in "The sidewalk down there was only about two hoaspans across.")

I suspect they'll make some friends in the joint when some of the general population hear they used "Blackface" as a disguise!

heh

Jay,
I hear these two were released the same day.

They're back out there on the streets.

Too dumb to incarcerate...

Were they at least sterilized before release so they can't reproduce?
