Stupid Criminal of the Week

by TChris

People who call the police, and then invite them into their homes, knowing they the police might discover a large stash of a controlled substance, are nearly automatic recipients of "stupid criminal of the week" recognition. Here's the latest:

In retrospect, it probably wasn't such a good idea to call the police. Ronald Meyers summoned officers to his home in an upscale neighborhood Thursday morning, claiming that someone was trying to open his windows and that he could hear voices outside.

Responding officers found no burglar but asked if they could check inside, said Sgt. John Booth, a Palm Springs police spokesman. When Meyers, 59, let them in, officers allegedly found more than $100,000 worth of marijuana, he said.
