Our bozo criminal for today’s heart was in the right place, it was his brain that was misplaced. Police in Winter Haven, Florida, say bozo Brian Clifford was caught stuffing three packs of electronic wire down his pants at the local Walmart. When he tried to leave without paying for the $87.91 worth of merchandise, he was detained by store employees until the police arrived. When the cop asked our bozo why he was stealing the wire, he replied that he was going to sell it for cash to bail his wife out of jail. It seems she had been arrested earlier in the day…on shoplifting charges. He’s joined her in the slammer.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Casper, Wyoming, where bozo David Shafer’s search for love led him to answer an online ad. He arranged to meet a hooker for sex, but it was his method of payment that landed him in the Bozo Hall of Fame. He worked out a deal to pay for his romantic encounter with a Quarter Pounder with cheese and a medium order of fries. What he didn’t know was that he was dealing with an undercover police officer and not a real hooker. He was arrested when he showed up for his tryst, McDonalds bag in hand.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Stamford, Connecticut, where bozo Donald Baxter loved sweets. Really, really loved sweets. So much so, in fact, that after he robbed a convenience store of $800, he immediately headed to a bakery to stock up on cookies and espresso. Unfortunately, he got lost along the way and he flagged down a passing motorist to ask for directions. As luck would have it, that passing motorist just happened to be a plain clothes investigator on the way to the scene of his holdup. After the cop got to the the store and watched the surveillance tape, he recognized our bozo immediately. He headed straight for the bakery, where he found our bozo enjoying his snack. He’s busted!

Step three: He went to close the deal and pick up his bike. All was going smoothly until the father of the young man who had the bike for sale showed up to help him close the deal.

Step four: After determining the cash came from the robbery our bozo was placed under arrest.

Bozo criminal for today from Brooks, Oregon, had a lot of marijuana but what he really wanted was a snowmobile. So, he did the obvious thing.

After receiving the offer, the cops set up a meeting with several other officers in unmarked cars also in attendance. Our bozo is now under arrest.

After punching Black, our bozos demanded that he remove his pants and hand them over. When he refused, our bozos fled empty handed. The police were called and were in the process of interviewing the victim when one of our bozos returned to the scene of the crime. Apparently he had dropped his cell phone in the tussle and was hoping to retrieve it. Bad idea. He’s under arrest, charged with assault and attempted trouser theft.

He told police that, since the cops weren’t doing anything about the zombie infestation of the neighborhood, he had no choice but to take things into his own hands.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Marathon, Florida, where McDonalds employees called the cops after a customer fell asleep in the drive-thru and they could not wake her up.

Her companion was found to have three DUI convictions in the past and is a convicted sex offender who had not registered since moving to Monroe County. No word on the fate of the Big Mac.

While all of us at the Bozo Report admit that doing a good donut on a wet road can be fun, there’s a time and place for everything. And that time and place is not during a curfew imposed by authorities because of an approaching hurricane. And it’s certainly not in front of a news crew that is doing a live report. But that’s exactly what bozo Brandon Mason did the other evening as hurricane Matthew approached the Florida coast. The cops took time from preparing for the storm to track him down and place him under arrest.

At this point, no charges have been filed as the search for the jaywalking bird’s owner continues.

Our bozo for today gives us a rather unique answer to the question, what do you do if you have an outstanding warrant and are pulled over by the cops? Bozo Tori Nelson was a passenger in a car that was stopped by the cops in connection with a hit and run in Hollywood, Florida. It was then that she took the bozo approach to concealing her identity. She shoved her ID up her, um, most private lady area. Apparently it was in there to stay, as when she was taken to the county jail for processing, it showed up on an X-Ray the medical staff did. And to add to her problems, as she was being escorted out of the jail to be taken to the hospital for removal, she squatted and peed in front of the facility. She faces charges from the outstanding warrant as well as additional charges of indecent exposure.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Killingly, Connecticut, where bozo Aaron Norris was involved in a domestic disturbance.

He then crashed his truck through some hedges and fled at a high rate of speed. The cops lost track of him after he ran several red lights. End of story, right? Wrong. Our bozo just couldn’t wait to get home and post the whole story on social media, ending the post with “I won.” No he didn’t.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Mike Sheffield for sending in today’s doozy from Des Moines, Iowa. Bozo Taylor Haynes was stopped by the cops for a traffic violation when he fled, leading them on a high speed chase. It was what he did during the chase that landed him in the Bozo Hall of Fame. Apparently, our bozo had a shotgun in the vehicle, and, for reasons known only to the bozo mind, he decided to toss the shotgun out of the window mid-chase. When it hit the pavement, the shotgun fired off a round, which shot out the tires of his vehicle. Our bozo bailed out of the car, but was caught by the cops after a short chase on foot. He’s under arrest, charged with possession of meth with intent to deliver and possession of a weapon.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Queensland, Australia where our bozo thought it would be fun to let his five-year-old son drive his car and even do some burnouts. The kid was so good that dad decided to make a video of his stunts and post it on Facebook. The video quickly went viral with more than four million view including the local police department who didn’t find it so charming. They paid a little visit to our bozo and, citing Australia’s anti-hooning laws, confiscated our bozo’s vehicle. They say the car will be returned after dad’s timeout is over.

Our bozos for today seemed to have a great plan but were foiled by the oldest of bozo flaws, returning to the scene of the crime. Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending this one in from Waterville, Maine. Our bozos had set up shop in a hotel room in Bangor, where they had a machine for making fake credit and gift cards using stolen account numbers. They then used the cards to purchase in excess of $11,000 in items from the local Wal-Mart. Success. So move on to another location, right? Nope. Head back to the scene of the crime to try it again? Right. And head back at the same time police officers were there talking to store employees and viewing surveillance video? Yep. They’re busted!
