Pro Tip: Don’t Hand Cops An ID With Meth On It

When busted, some people will try to hide any evidence of wrong doing. Others, will hand it right on over. Pro Tip: don't hand cops an ID with meth on it!

That's what one Florida man did. Now, he's paying the cost for his mistake. He probably would have paid a little more attention...if it wasn't for the meth.

Robert Brush was arrested after he forgot to brush off the meth from his driver's license when handing it over to an officer during a traffic stop, according to Law And Crime.

According to Law And Crime, Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies pulled Brush over when they noticed a tailgate on his pickup truck was covering his license plate.

Then, they asked him for his license, as they do during these stops. That's when deputies noticed a "white crystalline substance on it," Law And Crime reports.

See, ID cards, like drivers licenses, are often used to cut up and break apart drugs. It's typically used for cocaine, powdered heroin, and yes, meth. Officers tested the substance and it was confirmed to be meth.

According to Law And Crime, Brush tried to deny that it was drugs and a police dog was brought in. Well, the police dog alerted the officers that there were drugs inside the vehicle. The officers discovered more than 16 grams of meth, per Law And Crime.

Taking the slight second to brush off the substance from his ID could have saved him from a lot of trouble. Naturally, the officers had to let the public know about this. Check out the post on X/Twitter from @PolkCoSheriff.

Oh boy. They even made sure to include, "He was taken to the Polk County Jail...all because of a minor traffic infraction and Mr. Brush's inability to...brush off his license." I love that you can read exactly how that's supposed to be said.

While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn't), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it's the crime itself that's wild, other times, it's the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.

Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America's Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I'm not sure if those shows are around...and I'm certain Spike TV isn't around anymore. That's a story for another time.

Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren't a matter of life or death. There's no ethics quiz here, or any matters of 'would you steal bread to support your family?' These crimes, and criminals, aren't straight up cringeworthy.

While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That's why I've gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let's be honest...what's better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I'm going with the funny storytellers.

They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but...you get it. Let's not delay! Here's the list!

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Wisconsin who was arrested after lighting his own car on fire and being found naked, covered in liquid soap near a lakae. He is supposedly a licensed psychotherapist, works with 'magic mushrooms' and is "pretty much an expert in magic."

Dave & Chuck the Freak hear about a new Amazon vendor scam involving glue guns and head-lamps, or a potential windfall if you're James.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Dearborn, Michigan who exposed himself to someone at a Burlington Coat Factory. They are very confused when they learn about their hours and huge social media following. Then, they try to figure out what they even sell there.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Las Vegas, Nevada who stripped nude and danced on the gaming tables before he was restrained and arrested. Vegas, baby...

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Illinois who accidentally shot himself in the leg whilst dreaming of burglars breaking into his house. Living the proverbial dream isn't always what it seems...

Don't be like Mr. Brush!
