I remember him. Griggs used to work for the CIA. He was in charge of counter-intelligence disinformation.

We had a guy in my town try to hold up a bank one morning. He was wearing a field jacket with his friggin' name on it. The teller did not take him seriously and told him to pack sand; after which he stormed out out of the bank in a huff. He went across the street to get a cup of coffee at the McDonalds. The teller promptly told her boss who called the police. They went across the street and arrested the guy for attempted bank robbery. Apparently since he did not get any money out of the deal he figured no laws had been broken. Guess he figured wrong. This one made the TV, we're so proud!

And tonights winner of the universe's stupidest criminal alive goes to..........

The clerk later identified Griggs in a photo lineup.

Is it true that they had everybody in the lineup holding a broom in one hand and a lottery ticket in the other?

Dispatchers watched from the police station minutes later as Griggs used the broom to smash out a vehicle window, Stills said.

Wait a minute, he did this within sight of the police station? Way to go, Dan.

"An officer slipped and injured his shoulder during the foot chase. "
Can he be held also for the injured officer?

This was close enough to where I grew up, and where both my folks and grandfather live that I know exactly where this police station and convenience store are...

And as small as Lake Station is, this guy had to be "pure-D-stupid"....

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

"Stills said Griggs was unable to cross a ditch and was arrested by officers who had their guns drawn. "

Why did the cops have their guns drawn? There was no danger to their lives. Sounds like a case of very, excessive police action. I thought you could not use a gun unless you were defending yourself against deadly force? The police needs to be sued for this. John Q. Citizen would have been arrested if he had done this!

This guy is so dumb I'm surprised that he didn't go back into the store to call the auto club to come unlock his car.
