Stupid Crimes

Urine trouble

A Swede and his accomplice spent several hours locked inside the vault of Copenhagen Bank while they emptied 140 safety deposit boxes. The Swede had to urinate in a plastic bag while in the vault.

When leaving, the pair came across a guard and threw the bag of urine at him as a distraction. Although the bad guys got away, the urine gave investigators DNA evidence that was used to convict the Swede.

Mother-daughter drug deal

For the past two years, 49-year-old Trudy Peters-Isenhour has provided her teenage daughter with Roxicodone pills to keep her from having to buy them on the street.

The 17-year-old told detectives she would take the pills orally or snort them in front of her mother. Peters-Isenhour would sometimes split the 30 mg pills for her daughter, but would give her the entire thing other times.

The mother turned herself in this week. Investigators said she confessed and has been charged with child abuse.

Butt crack

A 19-year-old cyclist was arrested after sheriff’s deputies said they found a tube of crack cocaine between his buttocks.

Clarell Jamar Colbert of Fort Pierce, Fla., was initially stopped by police for riding his bike in the middle of the street. During a patdown, a deputy felt something suspicious and a drug-sniffing dog was brought to the scene. The dog alerted to a narcotics odor and Colbert was taken to a private area, where the deputy extracted a tube said to contain 12 rocks of crack cocaine.

Colbert was held on charges of drug possession with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Women bring kids along to buy drugs

Two women from Deltona, Fla., called police to report they and their two young children were robbed at gunpoint of $200 and a cell phone. In later interviews, Jame Brown and Dawn Pratt told police that they had gone to an unoccupied home to buy 16 Percocet pills.

Brown and Pratt told police the children ?– ages 2 and 10 — were scared they would be hurt when the robber pulled out the gun.

The children were turned over to other family members and the Department of Children & Families was notified. The mothers were both charged with child neglect causing great harm.
