Dumb Criminals: Florida (Obviously) Man Covers Self In Tar To Avoid Being Seen By Cops, Fails

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - When police in Daytona Beach, Florida, found a man covered in tar on the roof of a closed gas station before dawn, he told them he was visiting family.

They didn't believe it.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported Thursday that Joshue Holoman, 30, man then tried to convince officers he was a repairman who was atop the Sunoco station at 3 a.m. Tuesday because he heard the air conditioners making noise. Officers didn't believe that one, either.

Finally, police say he told them he had been sleeping on the roof and had smeared tar on himself so he wouldn't be seen.
