NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Physical Reality Imitates Virtual Reality
When Polk County (FL) Sheriff's Office detectives checked out a lead on the location of a green 1998 Dodge Durango that had been stolen from a local Wal-Mart parking lot, they found the vehicle parked in front of a home and the alleged thief, Michael Ray Ekes, 30, inside playing “Grand Theft Auto,” reports the Orlando Sentinel:
Detectives said they found a syringe filled with methamphetamine inside Ekes' pants pocket. Ekes told detectives he "shoots" meth and had just finished using before detectives arrived.
Ekes was already out on bail for previous charges of … wait for it … two counts of grand theft auto. …
Ekes was charged with burglary of a conveyance, grand theft auto, possession of burglary tools with intent to use, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
