DOUGHNUTS AND WHISKY - BUT NO WILD, WILD WOMEN

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

Officers investigating a burglary from a convenience store in Roseburg, Oregon, didn't have to work too hard to solve the crime; in fact, the crime sort of solved itself.

Earlier on the day of the robbery, two guys in cowboy garb offered the sheriff's deputies doughnuts, which (as all good officers would) they declined. However, when they went to investigate the burglary, theyfound that the missing items were cigarettes, candy, chewing gum, and doughnuts. To make their crime detecting even easier, there were cowboy boot footprints on the floor of the store.

Adam Hancock and his cousin, Vincent Whitely, were sentenced on theft and burglary charges. Hancock's attorney reported that his client had mental disabilities and was "easily led." Hancock told the judge he'd been drinking whiskey before the burglary and vowed to make restitution of $895.
