Dumb Criminal of the Week

A "complete criminal irony" bonehead award goes to an unidentified man in Cape Haze, FL. The man entered a local gas station, pulled out a knife, and demanded money. He then hopped into his car and fled. An alert customer immediately called 911. Deputies were summoned to the scene of the crime to investigate. As news of the crime quickly spread through the neighborhood, a newspaper carrier informed officers that the man who had robbed the gas station had run out of gas a few blocks away.
