Dumbass

  • Leaving your ID in the back of a cab can be an inconvenient mistake, especially if it was a cab you just robbed.

    Prosecutors allege Antonio Crawford, 29, offered up his ID when he tried to use a credit card reported stolen in an earlier robbery pay for a cab ride from Arlington Heights to the 1200 block of South Ashland around 6:35 p.m. on July 19.

    When the card was denied, Crawford pulled out a 9-milimeter handgun and took $100 from the center console of the cab and fled, prosecutors said Sunday in Cook County Central Bond court.

    But while making his getaway, Crawford left behind his ID, authorities said.

Slam dunk arrest and conviction. Now he can plead guilty to "theft" and be out by next month.

Sad part of it, if Police would have confronted on scene while still armed, the masses would be saying "They didn't have to shoot em" they had his I.D , they could have arrested later.

happened in 012. If the criminal wasn't so stupid our jobs would be much harder then it is already. Great job by the beat car. They gave a good flash and then wrote good paper and inventoried the ID allowing the dicks to conduct a good follow-up. Good job by all. Now it is up to the states attorney to put this career criminal away for a few years.

That's just a theft and no gun involved in Crook County. He'll get supervision.

Slam dunk arrest sure. But conviction? Come on we are dealing with the states attorneys office. They could screw up a guilty plea.

"When [his credit] card was denied, Crawford pulled out a 9-milimeter handgun and took $100 from the center console of the cab and fled..."

I'm not sure I understand.

Is this an alternative method of payment of the cab fare?

This shit-hole city, is in the hands of the criminals.
I wish can CCW (.40 GLOCK) to defend my self and family, without getting in trouble with the law.
I'm a outstanding pro-Police law abiding citizen, with a valid FOID card, registered gun and have taken an 8hr gun training.
I know it's is a long way,before able to CCW but.. I might, just take a chance.

Uh...aha...can we see some M.U.F., please?

I've seen them get in, give the address, pass out, and then attack the driver when awakened at the destination.

They jump up all bug-eyed. "WHA' WE AT? WATCHOO BRING ME HERE FO"?"

Yeah, they have a head, and two arms, and two legs, just like you.

Don't let it fool you.
