Blood-soaked customer arrested Saturday, June 26, 2004 Posted: 3:26 PM EDT (1926 GMT) NAPLES, Florida (AP) -- A man who walked into a Wal-Mart covered in blood and bought garbage bags Friday was charged with murder after authorities found a stabbed body in a trash bin. Wal-Mart workers called deputies after a blood-soaked man walked into the store and bought some clothes, bandages and trash bags around 4 a.m. He paid with a $100 bill that also appeared to be bloodstained, they said, and drove off in a pickup. Deputies found a man that matched workers' description, but the man fled. Sheddrick Deon Bentley, 26, was arrested after a second search. Bentley was charged with killing Cory Brightman, 18, whose body was found in a trash bin about two miles from the hotel where authorities found a white Dodge pickup that had blood on it. Authorities said Bentley told officers Brightman attacked him with a knife near a trash bin and he fought back in self-defense. Bentley had cuts on his hands, but they didn't appear to be defense injuries, authorities said. Inside the trash bin was a pair of bloody sneakers that matched the footprints at Wal-Mart and in front of the house of a witness who said she saw Bentley and Brightman fighting. Bentley is the nephew of former Indianapolis Colts running back Albert Bentley and had been living with his uncle for about two months. Albert Bentley said his nephew and Brightman were friends. "They were together a couple of days ago," Albert Bentley said. "They were hanging out together. Everything seemed fine." Bentley, who also faces charges including grand theft auto, was held without bail at the Collier County Jail.

No, no, no: Darwin awards don't go to murderers -- this one goes into the 'Stupid Criminals' file.

You achieve the high honor of the Darwin Award if you are so stpuid to get yourself killed in a singularly unique manner so as to cleanse the genepool of your obviously "unfittest" genetic material. Extra points if you manage to do this without procreating.

I doubt the DarwinAward keyword is applicable here. The StupidIdiot keyword reference is undisputable, however.

I suppose we all should be glad there are such stupid idiot criminals out there because it's so easy to arrest someone when they literally leave a trail of blood.

Death is not a Darwin requirement, only taking yourself out of the gene pool. Hence the man that recently got drunk and shot both his testicles off with a SHOTGUN...ouch, is eligible, as a live candidate. Most Darwin contestant are less direct and kill themselves, leaving little procreation possibilities.

Dumbass killer award is more like it... okay maybe it would be a darwin award if some 300 lb bobo kills him in prison.

Hope this kind of thing doesn't lead to the dumbing down of homicide squads though.

True enough - and yeah: being drunk and having aim like that... a rare combination.

I'm not. I'm glad. Less tax $$$ on a missing person case, then a murder, when the body's found, then hunting down the killer.

This is so much more efficient, given that the victim was beyond hope at that point.
