Bozo criminals for today come from the International File in Melbourne, Australia. It’s said that timing is everything, and, in the case of these bozos, bad timing sealed their fates. Our bozos had the misfortune to break into the back of a residence, just as police officers were breaking in the front door in a drug raid. Guess they didn’t notice the cop cars out front. They’re under arrest.
Bozo criminal for today comes from Bremerton, Washington, where bozo Claudia Wilkins stopped by her credit union to make a deposit.

From Williston, North Dakota, comes the story of bozo Sharon Parker who skipped town after being accused of stealing $5000 from a car dealership where she worked as an office manager.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Hamburg, Michigan, where the cops were making a routine bar check at about 11 PM. When they returned to their vehicle, they found the cruiser’s windshield had been smashed. Guess our bozo didn’t notice the video camera on the car’s dash, which captured a nice picture of him jumping on the hood and kicking in the windshield. Officers took the picture back inside the bar where patrons identified him as a regular. Oops. He’s under arrest.
(Best of Bozo) Bozo criminals for today come from Richmond, Virginia, where bozos Randy Stevens and Bobby Parker went to a new home site and removed a refrigerator from one of the not yet completed homes. The bozos, after much struggling, got the refrigerator out of the house and into the back of their pickup. However, the extra weight caused the back of the pickup to sink into the mud of the not yet paved driveway. So, our bozos decided to drag the refrigerator back into the house and then try to get the truck out of the mud. Only one problem, when they returned from the house they discovered they’d locked their keys in the truck. They were trying to break into their truck when the police arrived.

The clerk took one look at it and knew something was up. The face on the $100 bill was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is on the $5. Franklin is on the $100. Police found more of the funny money in our bozo’s shirt pocket when he was placed under arrest.
Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Masterton, New Zealand. We don’t know if the high price of gasoline left bozo Wade Childress without enough money to pay for his potato chips and M&Ms, but when he reached the register at the service station, he discovered he was out of cash. So, he offered the clerk what he had on him…a half ounce of marijuana and a pipe to smoke it with. We’ll never know if the clerk would have accepted the offer, as our bozo failed to notice the police officer, in uniform, standing in line behind him.
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Joey Schwartzman for sending in today’s report from Jacksonville, Florida. Bozo Stephon Baker robbed a man outside a restaurant, getting away with some cash, a gold chain, and his cell phone. A few days later, the victim purchased a new cell phone and, when he turned it on, he noticed some pictures had been downloaded to it. Yep, through the magic of modern technology, our bozo had taken a couple of self-portraits of himself with the stolen phone and when he tried to send them to himself, they went to the new phone. To make matters worse, he was wearing the gold chain he had taken in the robbery. And to make things even worse, the cops recognized him from an old mug shot on file. He’s under arrest.
Bozo criminal for today comes from Jacksonville, Florida, where bozo Joseph White was a little short of cash, so he decided to pull off a little heist at the local Hungry Howie’s Pizza.

Number one, the security cameras caught a nice picture of him. And second, he didn’t bother to change clothes after getting off work. He was employed by Hungry Howie’s and he still had his uniform on when he broke in. He’s under arrest.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Bismarck, North Dakota, where bozo Anthony Halsted attended a big auction. And, while he was there, he helped himself to a tool kit and a bracelet from a couple of the displays, without bothering to pay for either one of them. Didn’t get away with it, however. He was spotted and placed under arrest. Maybe it was his choice of auction that caused him problems. He tried to shoplift from the annual Bismarck Police Department auction, which was held on the police impound lot.
Bozo criminal for today from White Plains, New York, is yet another example of a bozo foiled by modern technology. Bozo Ian Fowler broke into an apartment and stole a number of items, including an Apple notebook computer. Our bozo was relaxing at his house, surfing the internet on the stolen laptop when the computer started acting strange. Using a remote control feature included on Macs the owner had logged on to her stolen computer and was controlling it remotely. She then told the computer to take a picture of our bozo, using its onboard camera. Before he knew what was going on, the picture was taken and sent to the remote computer. And, wouldn’t you know it, the victim recognized our bozo as an acquaintance who had attended a party at her apartment a few weeks ago. Busted!

After the hospital stitched him up, he was taken to jail.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report. From White Plains, New York, comes the story of bozo Martin Fulmer who was arrested on disorderly conduct charges. When he was taken to the police station for booking, he became agitated and began to take off all his clothes, right there in front of the officers. This is not a good idea under any circumstances, but it’s especially bad when you have a baggie of marijuana hidden in your underwear, which fell out as he was doing hs strip tease. He’s busted!

After being treated for minor injuries, he was placed under arrest.
