Our bozo for today is not technically a criminal but his actions certainly qualify him as a bozo. From New York City comes the story of an unidentified bozo who was attending a performace of the Tony Award nominated play “Hand to God” when he noticed his cell phone was almost dead. So, he did what any phone loving bozo would do in such a situation, he jumped onstage and tried to plug his charger into an outlet that was part of the set. Our bozo was pulled from the stage and was escorted out. And his phone wouldn’t have charged anyway, the “outlet” is just fake prop.

Our bozo for today from Cape Coral, Florida, was busted with a little help from Mother Nature. Severe storms in the area resulted in a number of fires caused by lightning strikes. The cops responded to a call on SE 41 street after firemen clearing the area discovered something unusual . In the charred remains, the cops found a what appeared to be a large scale marijuana growing operation, with fifteen plants inside, seven more outised and a large suitcase filled with prepackaged pot. Like a bolt out of the blue, our bozo was busted!

Our bozos for today from Houston, Texas thought they were out of reach of the long arm of the law. They were wrong. Police officers tried to pull over a vehicle at around 2:15 A.M. Saturday but our bozos fled, leading the officers on a chase that ended when they crashed at the end of the street. They then jumped out of the car and fled on foot, disappearing into the darkness. Our bozos then spotted a large tree and quickly came up with the not so bright idea of climbing it, thinking they would be out of sight of the pursuing officers. Out of sight they may have been, but not out of scent of the K-9 officer that was also in hot pursuit. Both bozos were persuaded to climb down and now face felony evasion charges.

For today we have another example of a bozo foiled by modern technology. From Middleton, Wisconsin, comes the story of Marquis Perry who was on the run from the cops after it was reported he had stolen a car and robbed a BP gas station. The cops found the car abandoned near a local pond surrnounded by dense undergrowth. Instead of searching on foot, the cops took the fire department up on their offer to loan them an inflatable raft and a drone with a camera to help them. It wasn’t long before the camera spotted a pair of shoes and a large wad cash floating in the water, which led them to our bozo who was hiding nearby. He’s busted.

Today we present a couple of members of the Bozo Mile High Club, but, as you will see, the reasons for their induction are different than what you might expect. A couple of pilots for the Argentine airline Austral Lineas Aereas learned that they had a Playboy model on board and, of course, they invited her into the cockpit. Unfortunately numerous selfies showed the model flying the plane and assisting the pilots during takeoff. Not good. They’ve been terminated and several passengers are considering lawsuits.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the Bozo Lonely Hearts Club. It seems bozo John Hamilton of New York City wanted to go see his girlfriend in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, 300 miles away. Only problem, he didn’t have a car. So, he did the next best thing and loaded his kids into a cab and told the driver to head for Uniontown. Which might have been OK, except when he arrived at his destination and the cabbie handed him a $749 bill, he told the driver he had no cash and his “credit card was maxed out for the day.” Bad idea. The cabbie called the cops and our bozo has been jailed on charges of theft of services. The kids are in protective custody and our bozo still hasn’t seen his girlfriend.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Bob Hammond for sending in today’s report from Denver, Colorado where it’s not unusual to find food trucks parked at various locations around town. However, one taco truck in particular seemed to be getting VERY popular. After receiving a tip, the cops staked out the taco wagon in question and noticed that one of the “specials” was, well, very unusual. If you knew what to ask for, you could get your taco with a side order of methamphetamine. Yep, our bozos were brazenly selling dope out of their taco truck. Not anymore. After selling some of the special tacos to an undercover officer, our bozos were busted.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Troy House for sending in today’s report from Los Angeles, California, which also qualifies for the Darwin Award. It seems a member of the notorious MS-13 gang decided it would be a good idea to gold plate his genitals to celebrate his 17th birthday. It wasn’t. He stole some lead-based gold paint from a local garage and sprayed away. We’re not sure exactly what happened next but we do know he ended up in the hospital where he died from complications related to the attempted gold plating. RIP Bozo.

Bozo criminal for today from Salem, New Hampshire, proves once again that while a dog may be man’s best friend, he can sometimes be a bozo’s worst enemy. Two housekeepers at a Red Roof Inn noticed a German Shepherd running loose on the property. They recognized the dog as belonging to one of the guests at the motel so they went to his room to tell him. When they arrived, they found the door open and the air filled with the strong smell of pot and what appeared to be a large amount of marijuana in the bathtub. The cops were called and found $100,000 in cash in addition to the pot. He’s busted!They’re looking for a good home for his dog.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Hamilton, Alberta, Canada, where the cops were called to a report of a sticky substance on the sidewalk.

Except…upon arrival they found, that in addition to being in possession of maple syrup, he was also in possession of marijuana. And he was in violation of his probation. He’s busted!

Bozo criminal for today violated seldom used Bozo Rule Number 778423: If you’re already naked when you’re arrested, don’t push it. From Westlake, Ohio, comes the story of bozos Alexandria Mason and Kenneth Greer, who were reported to be naked in a parking lot. By the time the police arrived, our bozos, still naked, were inside their car. Bozo Alex was behind the wheel and eating a slice of pizza while Bozo Ken was in the passenger seat with an open can of beer between his feet. Both where arrested and ordered to get dressed. But the fun didn’t stop there. Bozo Alex was released to a sober family member, but by 3 a.m. she was found wandering down a road after being kicked out of the car for arguing with the person who came to pick her up. She was booked on charges of disorderly conduct while intoxicated. Meanwhile, Bozo Ken, who was on probation for drug possession charges, peed in the back seat of the patrol car. Bad, bad idea. He’s been charged with disorderly conduct while intoxicated, an open container violation, and public indecency.

Bozo criminal for today comes from Kingman, Arizona, where the cops were on the lookout for a man they suspeced had illegally dumped 600 pounds of construction and household trash in the desert. A few days later the cops were taking part in a free trash collection event when who should drive up but the very guy they had been looking for. One of the detectives approached our bozo and he quickly admitted to being the illegal dumper. He was also arrested on two unrelated misdemeanor warrants plus the illegal dumping charge.

Bozo Criminal for today from Benton, Arkansas, comes from the Wardrobe Malfunction Department. The cops were looking for bozo Charles Watkins in conjuction with a shooting that left a woman seriously injured. Working on a tip, they tracked him to a local hotel where he was taken into custody without incident. It was the T-shirt he was wearing at the time of his arrest that landed him in the Bozo Hall of Fame. Written in big letters across the front of the shirt: “You Can Run But You Can’t Hide.” Very true. He’s under arrest.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Mike McPherson for sending in today’s report from Knoxville, Tennessee, where bozo Marvin Brown was a convicted felon, with charges of assault, drug and money laundering. He had been out of jail since 2013, and then he took that unfortunate selfie. The picture showed him holding a Springfield .45 handgun which he then then posted on Facebook. Don’t know how many “likes” the picture got, but it got one big “unlike” from federal prosecutors. You see, one of the provisions of his parole was that he was not to be in possession of any weapons. The jury decided the Facebook photo was evidence enough for them, and our bozo was sent back to jail.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Troy House for sending in today’s report that wins the Homer Simpson award for sheer stupidity.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Whangarei, New Zealand, where our bozo was pulled over by the cops for driving erratically. When officers ran a check on the name the man gave them, they discovered he was wanted for violating conditions of his bail. He was taken to the station house and placed under arrest. When he appeared in court, something unusual happened. Prison officials who were familiar with the wanted man noticed that our bozo was not him. That’s right, this bozo had given the name of a wanted man and then had kept his mouth shut the whole time until he was taken to court. After it was all sorted out, he was charged with driving without a license and giving false statements.

Bozo criminal for today from Red Bay, Alabama violated Bozo Rule Number 0006573: Go to bed early and get plenty of sleep the night before pulling off your crime. Bozo Christoper Taylor walked into a pharmacy armed with a shotgun and took the employees hostage, demanding drugs. Things did not progress as he had hoped and, after a time, he released all the hostages except for the pharmacist, who continued to stall him. As the situation dragged on, our bozo asked for a recliner. When one could not be delivered to him, he pulled some chairs together, laid down, and dozed off. The pharmacist then picked up the shotgun and walked outside. End of situation. The police woke up our bozo and placed him under arrest.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Yongxing, China, where the cops rounded up a group of suspects in an illegal gambling sting. Wanting to free his friend, our bozo dressed himself up as a police officer and reported to the station house, saying he was looking for one of the suspects to transport him to another facility. Sounds like a pretty good plan, except for two major flaws. Number one, he was drunk and reeked of alcohol. Number two, the friend that he was trying to spring had never been taken into custody in the first place. Oops. He’s under arrest.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Troy House for sending in today’s report from Woburn, Massachusetts. Transit police noticed bozo Tim Carter trying to “piggy-back” behind a paying customer and get on to a mass transit vehicle without paying.

It was when he was searched at police headquarters that they discovered our bozo had enough money to have paid that fare. Plenty enough. He was carrying $7000 in cash. He’s under arrest on the outstanding charges, including operating with a suspended license, operating a vehicle with a suspended registration and operating an uninsured vehicle.
