Our Stupid Criminal News Story of the Day!
Of all the ways a suspect can do themselves in…this might be the dumbest. George Whittaker had previously been jailed for taking part in the thievery of a $3.8 million Viking treasure. After that, the 43-year-old was wanted again by authorities for allegedly “breaching his license.” To find him, cops put out his mugshot on social media. Whittaker saw it and was dismayed to find that the picture they were using was a mugshot taken while he was hungover. So, he responded by posting a “better picture,” which showed him “with a tan and cool shades.” A few weeks later, cops were able to track down Whittaker and take him back into custody.
