NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: “I Look Like An Idiot”

Acting on a tip in a call-for-cocaine investigation, Galveston, TX, police rang up John Patrick Lacour Jr., 29, on the pretext of wanting crack delivered to a particular address. Responding to his customer’s question about how he’d be recognized as the drug deliverer, Lacour helpfully described his appearance, reports The Associated Press. When he came by with the goods, Lacour was promptly arrested and charged with manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance. He is being held on $250,000 bond.
