It sounded like a good idea
I really enjoy stories about stupid criminals - those who clearly are not cut out for a life of crime. I've represented a few (but I'm not going to talk about my cases) - sometimes they even get some sympathy from the court for being so inept. I decided to share those stories, and plan on making this a regular feature. So on to the first winner.
According to the AP, two young men's attempt to escape from the Alton city jail was short lived. It seems they decided to escape by crawling through a vent. Unfortunately, the ceiling was not made to accommodate that type of weight. The first one went through the ceiling - falling into the police chief's office!!
I don't know whether they wrecked the jail or not, but they were transferred to the Hidalgo County jail. Probably a good thing, because I can only imagine what the other inmates would be saying.
