The genius even got caught at the hospital as he admitted himself due to a gunshot wound, which is an automatic contact the cops process. I still remember Henry Hill from Goodfellas’ saying the Italian mafia had “off-site” doctors who treat gunshot wounds so there wont be a hospital record..
And even bigger genius (from the article)....
Mr. Cook turned up at a hospital not long after the failed home invasion attempt where was delivered into the waiting arms of Fort Wayne’s finest. He told the boys in blue that the break-in was meant to finance the bail he’d need when he turned himself in as there was an existing warrant for his arrest on other charges including illegally carrying a handgun. Go figure.
He told the cops he and his accomplice tried to break in to secure some cash, weed and other “valuable stuff.”
(From the news report)
“The other assailant is believed to still be at large.”
What? “believed to be”? What inanity.
