Stupid Criminals: The Magic Marker Burglars

Monday February 8, 2010
Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller of Iowa have been added to our growing Stupid Criminals files after the pair fled the scene of a botched burglary. Later, when pulled over by the Carroll police, the men were arrested having fit the description by the 9-1-1 caller who interrupted the burglary.

Identification was not difficult, considering the men had used a magic marker to create their disguise, instead of a boring old ski mask. See more from the Crime and Punishment Stupid Criminal Files.
