CARROLL, Iowa -- Police said they had no trouble identifying two men accused of trying to break into a Carroll apartment.
Police were responding to a call about an attempted burglary when they pulled over a car matching the alleged suspects' vehicle. Inside the car, officers found two men with their faces blackened with permanent marker.
Police said the caller described two men with painted faces attempting to break into an apartment Friday night before driving off.
Twenty-three-year-old Matthew McNelly and 20-year-old Joey Miller were arrested at gunpoint after officers were told they might be armed. Neither man had a weapon.
McNelly and Miller were each charged with attempted second-degree burglary. Both men were released after posting bond.
Attorneys for the men declined comment on Tuesday.
Here are the criminal masterminds' mugshots:
They look like Tammy Baker after a good cry.
lol...just.....lol
“Amazingly, the victim had no difficulty picking them out of a lineup...”
This should afford the police officers a chuckle or two for quite a while.
Stupid crooks yes, Darwin winners certainly not. Real Darwin winners are like the stupid Colorado crook who tried to steal live high voltage wiring this week. I do suspect these dummies don’t realize such markers come off skin easily with acetone.
As was said on Mystery Science Theater 3000 once to explain Darwin's theory in one sentence: "If yer dumb, you die!"
Sometines I just sit here and shake my head.
You are fast on the draw!

I believe the one on the right is the Lone Ranger.
I was thinking cat woman.
I think you have to die and not have any kids, as in taking yourself out of the gene pool.
they look like some of my wife’s family.
LOL!
They look like they just woke up from a bender. Friends had a laugh.
