May 25, 2005 -- A Brooklyn suspect in two livery-cab stickups redefined stupid yesterday when he walked into a police station to check on his arrested partner-in-crime — and found himself standing in front of his own wanted poster. It took only a split-second for the stunned cops at the 90th Precinct in Williamsburg to slap the cuffs on 20-year-old Awiey "Chucky" Hernandez, whose picture was captured by a cab-cam during one of the duo's alleged robberies.
"There's a wanted poster with their pictures, right there," said an incredulous Sgt. Norman Horowitz, of the 90th Precinct Detective Squad. "[The poster] was a couple of feet away. Obviously he did not notice it, but we did."
Hernandez's bungle began when he went to the station house to inquire about his cohort — 18-year-old Huquan "Guns" Gavin, the man whose face appeared next to his on the wanted poster.
Horowitz was baffled why Hernandez would mingle with cops after the "wanted" flier had been distributed throughout the neighborhood.
"I can't understand how he can walk into a station house knowing very well what they did, and their picture was plastered all over the [neighborhood]," Horowitz said.

LOL! I bet that's what he thought...or mebbe: "That mofo' looks just like ME!"
Sure seems that way. First, I thought it was Art Garfunkel.

Y'know, if this incident appeared on one of the crime dramas on the tube, people would have said: "There's no way that could happen in real life!"
Yes, reality is stranger than fiction. Amazing, isn't it? People trying to endulge in long fiction books, miss out on moments like this if they never drop by here.
You want darwin awards? How about this?

"Under questioning by detectives, Hernandez and Gavin both admitted to participating in the robberies, but each pointed a finger at the other as the mastermind, police sources said."
ROFL!
"Under questioning by detectives, Hernandez and Gavin both admitted to participating in the robberies, but each pointed a finger at the other as the mastermind, police sources said."
I guess the cops said, "These two are so dumb, there's no need to separate them."
Strategery...
Actually, when he walked in, he saw the wanted poster of himself-----then said to the cops, "Ignore that wanted poster over there (points to poster), it's an old picture of me."
I really think that if I were on the jury I'd want Spector put away just based upon his appeearance.
A Freudian slip? LOL.

It's simple. He didn't know that they had captured his picture on the cab-cam.
Well, you are likely right, but the article did mention that their pictures were plastered all over the neighborhood. But then again, these guys are likely not very much in tune with the needs of their 'hood so they prolly missed the pix.
