A Different Kind of Crack
A shoplifter escaped with some DVDs from a video store in Ferndale, Mich., using a bicycle for his getaway, but police were hot on his trail. “When the suspect realized he couldn’t outrun the car on his bike, he dropped it and tried to run away on foot,” a detective said. But then “he tripped on his baggy pants which had fallen down around his ankles.” The suspect hiked up his pants and took off running again, but tripped again, so “he kicked off his pants and shoes then jumped a fence.” He was caught anyway. James Green, 30, pleaded guilty to retail fraud and resisting arrest. (Royal Oak Daily Tribune) ...They knew he was no mental giant when he thought running was faster than riding a bike.
