Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:30:37 +0000

Jamie Craft of Jonesboro, Arkansas has herself quite a Tuesday.

The 28-year old kicked of her midweek adventure by getting good and drunk and crashing her Trans Am into the side of a mobile home. Mind you this was a proper, adult sized Trans Am, which becomes important later in this tale and also made what she did a pretty serious crime.

Rude Girl Flips Off Judge, Gets 30 Days in Lockup

Emerald Catron — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:15:06 +0000

Left on her own without legal representation, this girl (who was awaiting arraignment for a first arrest) was in over her head. It probably also didn't help that she didn't get the sobering reality of being physically present in court to knock some sense into her, since this is a video arraignment taking place from jail, where she is nervous and surrounded by other inmates.

Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.

Drug Courier Loses $20,000, Asks Tucson Police For Excuse Note

Dan Seitz — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:00:27 +0000

Granted, losing $20,000 of a drug cartel's money is fairly panic inducing. That said, you do have to wonder what Demarco Alonzo Thomas was thinking when he called the police for a note excusing him from delivering $20,000.

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:00:08 +0000

One of the things the internet has taught us is that there are a whole lot of dumb criminals out there. Add 21-year-old Benjamin Sickles to the list.
