The Year's Dumbest Criminals

* Adan Juarez Ramirez had it all figured out-he could become a cop without having to take the boring test. But he was arrested in Grapevine, Texas, after pulling over a driver in his pickup truck, outfitted with flashing lights. Ramirez even had an ID badge, which he'd made by blacking out a restaurant gift card and etching in the word "POLICE." However, he'd kept the restaurant's logo, a jalapeno pepper, surrounded by the words "Chipoltle Mexican Restaurant".

*Graham Price, of South Wales, ripped off the bank where he worked, but he wasn't completely duplicitous. He left a note in the safe: "Borrowed seven million pounds", signed "Graham Price."

*Christopher Oxley of Everett, Washington, was arrested for conducting a drug seal over the phone-in the bathroom of the Everett Police Department.

*Callie Rough of Middletown, Ohio, was picked up for shoplifting from a Dollar General Store with her two young children in tow. Among the booty was a book "101 Ways To Be A Great Mom".
