Dumb criminals will do almost anything to get out of a DUI. That is why any World’s Dumbest Criminals story that involves a DUI is sure to please. This story from Oregon is no exception. I have written about some of the World’s Dumbest Criminals. We have had people arrested for DUI show up to court drunk and even get a second arrest the same night. However, today’s World’s Dumbest Criminal by far has to be one of the weirdest we have had.

Craig Snow is a 49 year old citizen of Oregon. Recently, Craig Snow was arrested for a DUI. This was not this World’s Dumbest Criminal’s first DUI arrest.

Worlds Dumbest Criminal Gets DWI In Motorized Recliner

Worlds Dumbest Criminal Drives Motorized Wheelchair

DWIs can be received in any motorized vehicle. We have heard of people getting DWIs for driving riding lawnmowers, go carts, even mopeds, however, today’s Worlds Dumbes Criminal takes the cake.

Today’s Worlds Dumbest Criminal comes from Proctor, Minnesota. This Worlds Dumbest Criminal got a DWI for driving his motorized recliner. Yahoo News reported, “A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.” (Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy, 2009)

Today’s World Dumbest Criminal drove his motorized recliner into a parked car. SunTimes.com reported, “Prosecutors say Anderson’s blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008.” (Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy, 2009)

This was no ordinary La-Z-Boy. This Worlds Dumbest Criminal had upgraded this La-Z-Boy the way rappers upgrade their Cadillac Escalades. This Worlds Dumbest Criminals added a steering wheel, cup holders, and even a stereo to his recliner. DUIAttorney.com reported:

“The chair itself was powered by a lawnmower engine. The vehicle was decked out with a cup holder, stereo and other custom details. The man was using a steering wheel to drive the recliner down the road. In Minnesota, any motor vehicle operation while intoxicated is not permitted under the law. This means a bicycle, boat, recreational vehicle and, yes, a lounge chair.” (Guilty plea for motorized lounge chair DWI in Minnesota, 2009)

Today’s Worlds Dumbest Criminal will not be driving his motorized recliner anytime soon. He had to forfeit his recliner to police. This Worlds Dumbest Criminal was sentenced to two years probation. Not too bad for driving a motorized recliner while drunk.

Lady Tries To Avoid Arrest By Stripping In Front Of Her Kids At Convenience Store

Julia E. Laack

A Sheboygan Wisconsin woman becomes one of the Worlds Dumbest Criminals by deciding that stripping naked, in front of her kids, would be a good way to avoid arrest. Julia E. Laack was in a Cheboygen convenience store. Bumb Shack stated, “A 36 year-old woman, named Julia E. Laack, from Wisconsin stripped off her clothes in front of her children to avoid arrest after being caught stealing a bag of beef jerky and a lighter at a convenience store on Friday (October 9).” (Julia E. Laack Strips Naked To Avoid Arrest (Mug Shot, Video), 2009) It really sounds like she was caught at the store, however, that would be a straigh forward story. This story is anything but straight forward.

This Worlds Dumbest Criminal was shopping with her husband and kids when she decided to steal the lighter and bag of beef jerky. The family had stopped at a convenience store in Sheboygan. News Around The Globe reported, “The surveillance camera showed the video in which Julia could be seen stealing the beef jerky and dumping it in her bag while putting the lighter in the back of her jeans.” (Julia E. Laack, 2009) Store management notified police about the theft.

Police around at this Worlds Dumbest Criminals home around 7:00 PM. She was under the mistaken impression that you cannot be arrested, if you are naked. She began kicking, screaming, kicked one officer in the groin, and mooned passers by while in the squad car. This Worlds Dumbest Criminals is now facing multiple charges. What a mother to have!

Drunk Dumb Criminal Asks Directions…At a POLICE STATION!

Ok, many of us have gotten lost. In recent years, this is happening less because many of us are carrying GPS units, have them on our cell phones, or in our cars. Today’s dumb criminal did not have any of these available. So he stopped to ask directions. Not so unusual, but his condition and his choice of stops branded him a dumb criminal.

Today’s dumb criminal comes from Australia. The dumb criminal decided to ask directions at a police station. Police officers are very willing to help a motorist in distress, however, not if you are drunk. The man was obviously intoxicated when he entered the police station. Police officers quickly noticed the man’s intoxication. They administered a breathalizer test and arrested the man. He is now facing drunk driving charges and had his license revoked…on the spot.

The story does not end there. This dumb criminal told police that he needed directions to pick up his grandchildren. Maybe this man’s choice of stops was not as much a dumb mistake as it was fortunate.

Dumbest Criminals: Drunk Drivers Parks on Police Station Lawn

AP: Michigan State Patrol Post

Recently, we have written several stories about drunk drivers delivering themselves to the police. There was the couple that showed up to court drunk, even though they were facing DUI charges. The drunk guy who drove to the police station to complain about an earlier DUI arrest. We had written that drunk drivers turning themselves in were probably isolated incidents. Looks like we were wrong.

In Michigan, state troopers were surprised to find a car parked on their front lawn. The troopers had arrived at the Michigan State Patrol Post in Paw Paw at 2:00 AM. Channel 18 WLFI reported that about 10 minutes later the troopers stepped outside to find a car sitting on the post’s lawn. Continue reading »

Daily Dumbass: Guy Gets DUI While Driving a Golf Cart

A 47-year-old man in South Milwaukee got busted driving drunk, 0n the highway.  This does not sound that unusual. After all, people are busted for driving on our nation’s highways drunk, everyday.

Drunk Mom has 12 Year Old Drive Home

Several days ago we posted about a drunk man having his 12 year old drive him home. While he hoped that was an isolated incident, we feared that others may try this. Sure enough, a woman from Athens Alabama did. A limestone county women decided that she was too drunk to drive. Too often, drunks make this decision when their car is flipping or they have hit someone else. We applaud her on the decision not too drive. Her choice for an alternate driver would earn her the title of dumb criminal and a Darwin Award.
