Dumb Criminal of the Day story... Guy robs a Family Dollar store...

[jobycom]

First, imagine how low your ambitions must be to rob a Family Dollar store...

Dude was recognized a week later by a clerk from the store he robbed at a nearby grocery store. "Joseph Lynn Roberts, 53, of the 3100 block of Coda Drive, Gautier, was arrested at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday after authorities learned that he had used Western Union to send a payment to the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Police obtained his identity through the Western Union, and the cashier later identified him as the robbery suspect."

1. Great mind there...When I was studying Social Work, I worked in a prison.

Part of my job was telling inmates that-if convicted-they would be charged $30 a day for room and board and that they had to make payment arrangements before they would be discharged from prison.

I often wondered where they were supposed to get the money.
