Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Bob Hammond for sending in today’s report from the International File in Russia. The cops pulled our bozo over under suspicion of drunk driving. When they asked him for his driver’s license, our bozo began searching his pockets. Finally, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and proceeded to "call" his father who was "on duty", carrying on an imaginary conversation where he told Dad he needed to "deal with the situation." He continued talking to the cigarettes while the officers searched his car. Finally, he pulled a cigarette out of his "phone" and lit up as he was being placed under arrest.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Fred McKinney for sending in today’s report.

This morning the Bozo Criminal Report poses the question, "Can a man in a cow suit steal 26 gallons of milk from Walmart?" The answer, apparently, is "Yes." The follow-up question is obviously, "Can he get away with it?" The answer, as you would expect, is "No." From Garrisonville, Virginia comes the story of an unidentified 20-year-old bozo who somehow shoplifted 26 gallons of milk from the Walmart and then proceeded to give it out to passersby outside the store while wearing a cow suit. Mr. Cow had "moo-ved" on by the time the police arrived. But he was found a short distance away when the cops were called to a report of a disturbance at McDonalds. The cow suit was found in the car and he was placed under arrest.

Our bozo for today may not necessarily be a criminal, but the way he treats his parents is definitely a crime.

Failure to heed Mama’s advice to be careful who you choose to be friends with ultimately caused problems for our bozo for today from Chattanooga, Tennessee. It seems bozo Donte Taylor had an idea for what he thought would be a perfect robbery. He would stop by to visit some folks he hadn’t seen in a while and when he left his friends, who had been waiting outside, would burst in and rob the place. Things were going according to plan, visit, home invasion, grab stuff, flee. It was the fleeing part that didn’t work out so well. After his friends grabbed their loot, they were all running toward the getaway vehicle when our bozo tripped and fell. And remember what we said about choosing good friends? These guys simply fled and left their "friend" behind. The cops quickly arrived and placed our friendless bozo under arrest.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Bob Hammond for sending in today’s report. From Woodland, Oregon, comes the story of bozo Jeremiah Collier who went on a late night beer run, but found his search complicated by his own bozo-ness. Mistake one…he went to a mini-mall in search of a liquor store, a bad idea, since the nearest place selling alcohol was several blocks away. Second, he had no real tools for breaking into the stores, so he launched a 15 minute assault of throwing golf balls at the windows in an attempt to break them. When this failed, he used the old trick of trying to jimmy a lock with a credit card. Having no credit card handy, he used his drivers license instead. He didn’t succeed in jimmying the lock, but he did succeed in getting his license stuck in the door. After a while, he gave up, leaving his license behind and the whole thing recorded in vivid detail on the mall’s security cameras. He’s busted.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Bridgeport, Connecticut, where bozo Emilio Lopez showed up at the local scrap yard and tried to sell a gas container for $60. What makes this bozo-worthy is what he did before he showed up at the scrap yard. Apparently the can was full of $200 worth of gasoline, which he emptied onto a city street. Let’s see, $60 minus $200 gives you a loss of $140, and that’s before the fine for hazardous dumping. He’s busted!

It looks like this week’s tax deadline may have been the undoing of our bozo for today from Islamorada, Florida. Police were called to a boat sales company after reports of suspicious activity. When they arrived, they discovered engines had been removed from three boats. They also found a receipt from a CVS pharmacy for a pair of work gloves found near the boats. Also nearby was a BMW sedan that company employees could not identify. Inside the cops found an IRS form belonging to our bozo. Using the name on the form, the cops were able to obtain his drivers license photo, which matched security camera photos of the man purchasing the gloves at CVS. He’s busted!

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Naples, Italy, where our unidentified bozo was pulled over by the cops at a spot check for drivers licenses.

Since 2003 he had collected $86,000 in disability benefits, claiming to be totally blind. Oops. He’s busted!
