Dumb Criminals: Santa Cruz CA Police On The Lookout For "Mrs. Doubtfire" Robbery Suspect
Dubbed Mrs. Doubtfire by local authorities, the man is seen in security camera video near the entrance of a Rabo Bank with a purse hanging awkwardly from his left arm, his face partially masked by long, curly, blond bangs swept across his face and glasses.
His hair is a wig and his attire a set of navy blue medical scrubs pulled over a light purple, long sleeve undershirt, police said. Hes described as a dark-skinned man between 25 and 35 years old, weighing between 160 and 170 pounds and about 5 feet, 5 inches tall.
We believe these are great photos of the suspect and somebody in the community has to recognize this person, Santa Cruz police said in a statement.
Authorities said that on Friday the Mrs. Doubtfire bandit stood inside the Rabo Bank about 2 p.m. until he was confronted by bank employees, then left.

Dumb Criminals: Woman Wearing "Drop A Load" Shirt Accused Of Public Defecation At K-Mart
CALEDONIA A 49-year-old Racine woman is facing criminal charges after she allegedly left an uncouth surprise for unsuspecting employees Monday at Kmart, 5141 Douglas Ave.
The woman, Melissa A. Jacobson, is accused of sneaking behind a cash register at the store and relieving herself in a box of security tags in the middle of making a return at the store, according to her criminal complaint.
Police were called at about 12:50 p.m. after an unsuspecting employee noticed a funky odor around the register and found that a box of 250 security tags nearby reportedly now contained feces and was leaking urine onto a mat underneath the box.
Managers reviewed security footage of the area which captured Jacobson initially enter the store and walk to the customer service desk. However, at about 10:22 a.m., the footage reportedly shows Jacobson walk to the register, loosen her pants and squat down, about a minute later reaching for paper towel, finishing and walking back to customer service. All of this reportedly occurred within sight of the restrooms, according to the complaint.
The security video shows Jacobson completing a return in sight of the bathroom and leaving the store at about 10:41, the complaint states. Employees reported no strange behavior from Jacobson during the return paperwork which allowed them to identify Jacobson.

Dumb Criminals: Texas Man Poses As Cop To Cut In Line At Drive Thru
ODESSA, Texas (AP) A West Texas man has been charged with impersonating an officer by using sirens and flashing lights to skip to the head of the drive-thru line at a fast-food restaurant.
Odessa police say Michael Chico was arrested after an off-duty officer spotted a truck with law-enforcement trappings. Cpl. Steve LeSueur (luh-SWEER') says Chico's vehicle looked like an unmarked police vehicle.
The officer who saw the truck cut in line Saturday thought the driver, who was wearing a uniform, was a volunteer firefighter and followed Chico to some apartments.
