Bozo criminal for today comes from Casper, Wyoming, where bozo Robert Thompson stole a car that was left sitting in front of a liquor store, with the keys in the ignition.

At least our bozo for today’s heart was in the right place. From Rahway, New Jersey, comes the story of bozo Craig Fleming who burglarized a house, getting away with three laptops and an Xbox game console.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Vero Beach, Florida, where bozo Jason Nations walked into a convenience store, picked up a can of beer and brought it to the front counter.

His fingerprints were lifted off the can and matched up to his prints that were on file from a previous domestic violence charge. He’s busted!

Bozo criminals for today come from the International File in Orebro, Sweden. Two bozos called a cab and asked the cabbie if he could also take along their bicycle.

He put them in, locked the back doors and drove them to the police station. They’re under arrest.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Elkhart, Indiana. Bozo John Warren was spotted in a cemetery by an off-duty police officer who was jogging by. He watched as our bozo, totally naked, got back into his truck and drove away. He took down our bozo’s license number and when he paid him a little visit to ask why he was naked in a cemetery, he gave the officer our Bozo Excuse of the Month. He told him he had stopped to check on his in-law’s grave, but he had been golfing all day long and his underwear was wet, so he undressed in his truck. And, as to why he got out of the truck naked, he said it was because he wanted to look at the flowers and didn’t have his glasses. He’s been charged with indecent exposure.
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Joe Haig for sending in today’s report from the International File in Manchester, England. Our bozo for today violated Bozo Rule Number 22119: Before pulling a crime, do your homework. Bozo Kate Davis was returning to England on a flight from Jamaica and as she tried to pass a set of golf clubs through customs an agent noticed something strange about them on x-ray. Then, making conversation with her, he asked her what her handicap was. She stared back at him blankly and asked him to repeat the question. When he did, she responded that she didn’t have any disability. Oops. The clubs were drilled open and found to be filled with cocaine. She’s busted!
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report. From Pueblo, Colorado, comes the story of bozo Manuel Garcia who was speeding down a steep hill when he ran a red light, narrowly missing an oncoming Lexus.

The fact that he was riding a skateboard at the time.
Bozo criminals for today come from Syracuse, New York, where bozos Christopher Box and Damian Bowman used a rock and hammer to break three windows at a sandwich shop around two o’clock the other morning. Their plan went awry when the breaking glass set off the burglar alarm and they fled without getting anything. The cops arrived a few minutes later and, after checking the surveillance videos, began to take a look around the area. They immediately noticed our two bozos sitting on the front porch of a house just behind the sandwich shop. Thinking they looked a lot like the crooks on the video, they asked them if they had heard any glass breaking within the last 20 minutes or so. This question so shook up one nervous bozo that he immediately confessed and indentified his friend as his accomplice. They’re busted!
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Don Reese for sending in this one from Lakeland, Florida, where bozo Jared Cook walked into a convenience store and asked to buy some tobacco products. The clerk asked for an ID, to confirm his age, which our bozo handed to him. It was after the clerk returned the ID that our bozo announced that it was a holdup and demanded cash. He got a small amount of money and, as he was heading out the door, dropped a small baggie of marijuana. Police quickly rounded up our bozo, using the info from his ID and his image from the surveillance video.
Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Josh Widdowson for sending in today’s report from the International File in Morelia, Mexico.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Concord, California, where bozo Terrol Casey had successfully robbed a number of banks by concealing his face with a ski mask and threatening the teller with a gun. Cops had little to go on, except for the unusual tattoo, which appeared to be a dark blotch, on his wrist. A former girlfriend recognized the blotch and came forward to identify him. She may have had an ulterior motive, though. That blotch on his wrist used to be her name…he had it tattooed over at the request of his new girlfriend. You know what they say about a woman scorned. He’s under arrest.

(Best of Bozo) Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Linz, Austria. An unidentified bozo was trying to break into a nursery when his foot got caught in a crack as he was entering through a window. There he was, stuck, half in and half out of the building.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Randy Shereda for sending in today’s report. From Deltona, Florida, comes the story of two teenage bozos who were walking down the street at 4 AM when a patrol car approached. They told the officer they were looking for a friend’s house but were having trouble finding it. They then asked for a ride home, but not before telling him they were aspiring rappers and performing a little rap and dance routine for him. It was then the officer noticed an electronic device and power cord stuffed into one of our bozos pants. A quick search of their pants turned up several cell phones and GPS devices, and a package of Pop Tarts. All of which had been reported stolen in a number of vehicle break-ins in the neighborhood. They’re busted!
