Bozo fled into a trailer park where he came upon a woman walking her dog. Thinking he could use the woman as a hostage to help in his getaway, the bozo tried to overpower the woman. Bad idea.

So, he laid his gun down on the floor and went about the task of wrapping everyone’s hands and feet with black tape. While the bozo was busy fooling with the tape, the store manager picked up the gun and held it on the bozo while the other employees called police. A violation of Bozo Rule #456: never put down the gun.

Bozo criminal for today, like a lot of us, fell victim to the heat this summer. From Lafayette, Louisiana comes bozo Louis Albright who had the not so bright idea of robbing a branch of the local bank.

Suitably disguised, the bozo walked right up to the teller and said "put all your money in the sack." Unfortunately, by this time the heat was taking its toll on the bozo’s disguise, causing it to melt and slide down his face and into his eyes. This kept our human hot fudge sundae from noticing as the teller pushed the silent alarm. The bozo was still struggling with his rapidly melting disguise when police arrived.
