Some funny crimes......... do you have one to share?

I copied these from another sight. I thought they were funny.

Man gets stuck in church HIGH POINT, N.C. — After receiving calls from suspicious neighbors about someone trying to rob a Baptist church, police arrived and landed their main clue almost immediately — a suspect's torso stuck and sticking out of a small window.

Spotting Ronald Stutts, 28, wasn't hard, but freeing the 6-foot, 235-pound man from the window took four officers some time and effort.

Authorities said Stutts, who was drunk at the time, was trying to steal a handful of painting supplies and food from the church. His strategy, however, was lacking. Stutts broke in through a large window but tried to exit through a small bathroom window, even though there was a door that he could have unlocked just 10 feet away, according to High Point Police Officer Lt. Jim Tate.

Stutts was charged him with larceny and breaking and entering.

Woman adds a little extra to traffic payment LAKEVIEW, Ore. — Debra Angeline Schwarz paid her traffic fine on time, but a substance she included with her payment got her into a stinky mess.

Lake County authorities said Schwarz, 44, paid her $350 fine in a squishy envelope that included what witnesses called a "brown, pasty substance." It didnÕt take long for workers to identify the contents as excrement, and authorities arrested Schwarz on charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration.

Schwarz was found guilty on all counts on Sept. 4. During her trial, she testified that she had given the envelope to someone else to mail, suggesting the other person must have added the offensive substance without her knowledge.

A sentencing date has yet to be scheduled, according to the Lake County district court clerk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Cooler head' burglar lands in jail



MARTINEZ, Ga. — A man wearing a cooler box on his head tried to hold up a store earlier this month, but is cooling off in jail instead.

Michael Steven Pavlich, 48, walked into a Circle K store at about 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 6, donning a plastic foam cooler on his head with a hole punched in it so he could see, according to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office. But between his unintelligible demands and his not-so-threatening pellet gun, Pavlich soon lost control of the situation. An onlooker attacked Pavlich from behind, seized the weapon and pushed Lavlich out of the store. Lavlich got into a car being driven by a woman and drove off, but not before witnesses were able to write down the license plate number. Police stopped the vehicle a few miles from the store and arrested Pavlich a short while later.

He was charged with attempted armed robbery. No further court dates have been set.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadbeat dad ordered to cease impregnation



MEDINA, Ohio — A convicted deadbeat dad and father of six will go to jail if he carelessly impregnates any more women in the next five years, a judge ruled earlier this month.

Medina County Common Pleas Judge James Kimbler imposed the unusual probation requirement on Sean Talty, 30, who was found guilty in July of failing to pay $38,000 in support for two of his six children, according to a court spokesman.

Talty, a construction worker and high school dropout, must make payments of $75 per week, and "make reasonable efforts to avoid conceiving children while he is under supervision," a judge ruled Sept. 6.

Vickie Kinder, who currently lives with Talty and is the mother of two of his children, told reporters that she and Kinder will adhere to the ruling, but noted her displeasure with the restrictions on conceiving.

Talty's attorney Joe Gorman says he plans to appeal on the grounds that the sentencing "violates both [Talty's] state and federal constitutional rights."
