My Nomination for This Year's "Dumb Ass Award"

From AP News, the following story about a man who really should be looking for another profession:

Call it the case of the perfect clue. A man handed a note demanding money to a teller at the Wells Fargo Bank Thursday, took the money and fled.

Left behind was the note — written on the back of a paper from the state probation and parole department, complete with the man's name on it, Deputy Police Chief Brian O'Keefe said Friday.


The 60-year-old man was soon in custody.


His prior record?........he was on parole for bank robbery.

Now, THAT is stupid!

DR

Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reported the story originally.
