OH COME ON, IT'S ONLY A GAME!

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

When Thomas Ballard finally killed all the baddies on his video game, he called up his buddy and triumphantly crowed, "I've killed them all."

It was a wrong number. The worried receiver of the call, who had Ballard's number on caller id, reported her concerns to the police and they, quite understandably, turned up at the triumphant gamer's home in force.

After searching his home to ensure no one had been murdered on the scene, police found a 5-year-old warrant from Baton Rouge for failure to appear on a possession of cocaine charge. Poor Ballard is now at the Richland Parish Detention Center awaiting extradition to Baton Rouge.

Ah well, you can't win 'em all.
