Douglas Brian Osborne was not the brightest criminal (just your average stupid criminal). He thought that it would be a good ‘money-making plan’ (literally) if he bought a printer at Wally-World and started photocopying $5, $10 and $20 bills.
The first time he tried to use his newly made cash, the clerk at the counter recognized the bill as phony. Osborne quickly apologized (hey, that could happen to anyone – right?) and had to pull-out some real money to pay for his merchandise.
A few minutes later, Osborne bought a pack of cigarettes with a fake $20 at a grocery store (which most likely employs people not familiar with U.S. currency). At some point, someone caught-on to his game and when police caught up with him $5, $10 and $20 counterfeit bills were found in his left front pocket, totaling $150.
When his car was searched, officers found $260 in counterfeit $20s in the driver’s side door pocket.
Osborne was charged with two counts of using counterfeit money, along with one count each of possession of counterfeit money with intent to use it, possession of a device to make counterfeit money … and resisting arrest (the moron tried to run away from the cops when they were taking him to the patrol car.

In an “arson-for-hire” case, this stupid criminal left behind the tip of his finger for investigators to find. His finger was found inside of a latex glove while officers were looking through the remains of a fire in Titusville, Florida.
When police caught-up with the owner of the finger at a local hospital, 24-year-old Ismael Ortiz, quickly confessed to the arson and said that he was hired to burn the place down by a resident of the apartment so he could collect renters insurance.
Apparently while trying to flee after setting the fire, he slammed his finger in the door and it cut the tip of his finger off. Good work buddy!

Breathalyzer Mug Shot
Some criminal mugshots tell the whole story. Take this guy for example, he was arrested at Halloween time while dressed-up as a human breathalyzer. Let me take a wild guess – public intoxication?
No – I was wrong – I checked into the background of this mugshot and found that it is of 18-year-old James Miller of Cincinnati Ohio. Miller was spotted by police driving the wrong way out of the entrance to a one-way street.
When officers stopped him, they found him wearing this breathalyzer costume with a open container of Bud Light in his cup holder, a partial case of Bud Light on the passenger front seat and some more beer in the trunk.
Since his particular breathalyzer was not in working order – police used their own. Miller was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
