The Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Stephen Rowe who sent us this bozo story via the internet. From Atlanta, Georgia comes the story of bozo Jay Springs who was walking through a convenience store with his cell phone, talking to a friend, telling him that he was going to steal a six pack of beer from the store for a party later on at his house. A store employee overhead the conversation and was able to quickly call police, who were waiting at the front door when the bozo tried to make his getaway with his beer.

The Bozo criminal for today comes from Coram, New York where Bozo James Prescott heard police knocking on his front door. He knew they were there to serve him with a warrant for petty larceny and assault. So, our bozo decides he will try to escape–through a roof vent. Once on the roof, with the house surrounded, the bozo realizes his only hope for getaway is to flee through a sump that leads to an underground sewer pipe. One problem, the sewer pipe is only 18 inches wide. Still, our bozo managed to squirm about 200 feet before getting stuck. And there he stayed, literally trying to keep his head above water and above everything else while praying no one in the house flushes a toilet. He waited for the cops to go away. They didn’t. Finally, after being stuck in the pipe for five hours, he called out for the cops to come rescue him, which they did, just before they hosed down and arrested him.

The Bozo criminal for today comes from Roanoke, Virginia and should be placed in the "If at first you don’t get busted, try, try again" file. 26 year old Tracy Freeman was acquitted by a jury of possession of cocaine because a key piece of evidence , a bag of crack, was not found in his possession. Four hours after the bozo was released, a cop pulled him over because of expired license plates. A search of the car uncovered…a bag of crack! He was back in jail before sundown.

The Bozo criminal for today comes from Sacramento, California where Bozo Jason Ellis pulled off two armed robberies. Police suspected our bozo in the robberies bur couldn’t prove anything. In fact he might have gotten away with it all if only he hadn’t decided to do that rap album. Yes, our bozo took some of his ill begotten money and formed his own rap group, the Romper Room Gang, putting out an album called The Rompalation. One track on the album described in detail a hold up that was remarkably similar to one of the hold ups the police suspected our bozo of pulling. Similar enough for the cops to arrest the bozo and 26 member of his "posse." They’re all singing a different tune now, from jail.

The Bozo criminal for today comes from Rockford, Illinois where 22 year old bozo Michael Warren was having a couple of drinks at the local bar when a TV reporter asked if he could interview him for a story he was doing on underage drinking. Since he was above the legal age the bozo agreed. Sure enough the story ended up on the 10 o’clock news. All this would have been well and good except for the fact that our bozo was a wanted fugitive. A local detective saw the story, recognized him and now our bozo is cooling his heels in jail.

Bozo wife decided the easiest way to get rid of him would be to smear peanut butter over his face while he was sleeping. The husband escaped injury when he woke up and took his allergy medicine–right after calling police.

Our bozo stuck a finger in his other ear to cut out all outside noise while he talked–and we do mean all outside noise. Including that of an approaching train. The bozo was so wrapped up in his conversation that he didn’t even hear the train’s horn. The engineer on the train saw the bozo on the tracks and tried everything he could think of to warn him. In a last ditch effort, the engineer threw a water bottle at the bozo, finally getting his attention. He was able to leap from the tracks just as the train passed by. The bozo was treated at the hospital for bruises, abrasions and extreme stupidity.

It seems the bozo raided the refrigerator at his last stop and the combination of food, beer and a hard day’s work put him to sleep–and put him into jail.
