Wacky Criminals

As it is Friday, and Friday the 13th on top of it, we will be keeping this light and report some unlucky criminals..

Chadwyk Voegeli, 20, of Fort Wayne in the USA, decided that he was going to become a policeman. Well, not really, but he decided to pretend anyway. Using what seems to be his phone, which displayed red and blue lights, our unlucky cop wanna be decided he would perform a routine traffic stop- so he pulled over a car. Once the car had pulled to the side of the road, our laughing genius pulled up next to the car, presumably to share his funny plan with the occupants- however his smile was wiped off his face when he stared into a police badge.
Turns out his choice of car was pretty unlucky and he pulled over two off duty cops.
He tried to flee- to a bar, but was followed by his 'victims'.
Uniformed policemen then pitched up, and never one to go down easy, he took to trying to sprint away. His bad luck continued as he was quickly apprehended.
Our unlucky not so convincing 'undercover' cop, now faces felony charges.

Our second tale is of somebody who does not learn very easily. Jeffrey Graham, of Merrimack, is our not so quick learner in question.
On Friday, the 6th of April, 2012, at around 15H00, police were flagged down by a resident of Elm street, complaining that a car had crashed and ruined his mailbox. Police found found the car, and after obvious signs that the driver was under the influence, arrested him for drunk driving and leaving an accident scene. He was taken to hospital. It is not stated why.
Somewhere along the line, he managed to get himself released from hospital, and secure the release of his car from the tow company.
True to form, three hours later, police received a report of a man who crashed into a mailbox and a fence. Once again, he was located, this time driving round with a flat tire.
For the second time he was arrested for driving under the influence, conduct after an accident and the new charge of breaching bail conditions.
He is set to appear before a court in may and surprisingly, his license has not been suspended. It is also not stated why he has something against mailboxes.

Twenty one year old Hanson Price, from Xenia, Ohio,  is a rare kind of criminal mastermind. Entering United Dairy Farmer's store, after midnight, with the obvious intention to rob it, our mastermind first produced his driver's license to present to the clerk so he could purchase a cigar. (Presumably to celebrate his heist.) After he paid with a $1 bill, he whipped out his 9mm pistol and robbed the store of a whole $72.
It did not take police long to catch up with him and his massive heist and he was promptly arrested. He now faces charges of aggravated robbery with a firearm. His identity at the crime scene, is beyond doubt though.

To end off we have to mention somebody that is synonymous with insanity, cults and danger. Somebody who is both loathed and loved and still, after being behind bars for decades, enjoys a cult following. The man in question- Charles Manson. Jailed for life for his part in a set of cult murders in the late 60's. Well, not really his part- he kinda ordered them.

Once again his parole hearing came up and once again the 77 year old's appeal was turned down. Since 1971, he has collected some 108 prison violations and the board found no good in terms of suitability for him being paroled. His next hearing date is 2027.
