Robbers who use sharpies instead of masks (w/ the funniest pic ever included)

Meet Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller. The Iowa men were arrested Friday night on attempted burglary charges after a 911 caller told cops that two hoodie-wearing males were trying to enter his apartment. During a subsequent traffic stop (McNelly, 23, and Miller, 20, were traveling in a 1994 Buick Roadmaster), Carroll Police Department officers collared the men, both of whom had their faces painted. Police Chief Jeff Cayler is unsure why McNelly and Miller, pictured in the below mug shots, opted for the Sharpie marker look, but surmised that they may have been trying to intimidate the apartment's occupant. Or perhaps ski masks are a bit pricey.

looks like matthew was going for a "batman" look

im thinking more of the guy from kiss, his left eye looks like a star!!

I think they were framed. I passed out at a party once and woke up with a similar disguise. The only thing missing on these guys are the penis drawings and the words "i am gay" across my forehead.

Man remember the days when they would at least spend a little effort and money (or time) buyying/stealing a mask?

How did the conversation go?

Yep. Everything was on the up and up. It was a legitimate shaming. I actually discovered it when I went to the bathroom and looked down to see the word "c0ck" written on my leg with an arrow pointing up. I guess out of the goodness of their hearts, my roommates were trying to leave me instructions in case I had trouble figuring out how to pee.

I read this in the Iowa based news outlets but they didn't have pics.



I love job security announcements.

[jakflak]

Wow. Nothing like starting out your first few days in your new barred home with permanent markings on your face that tell everyone how stupid you are. They're going to be popular.

This reminds me of a TV clip years ago about some dumb robbers who rubbed lemon juice all over their faces......because they thought it would make them 'invisible' to security cameras.

What they were probably supposed to do was put the lemon juice on the camera lens. Duh!

We saw this at work on CNN. I don't think I've seen a room full of TS-cleared, mostly seasoned intelligence analysts laugh that hard in YEARS.
