Sometimes, what you’re wearing matters. If you’re going to commit a crime, don’t do it in your work uniform. Especially if your work uniform is a police uniform. A shoplifting cop got taken to jail in her own police car!
It all happened in Columbus, Mississippi. Now, she’s been arrested. However, the shame will last forever. Here’s more on the story.
Shoplifting Cop Gets Taken To Jail In Her Own Police Car
According to WTVA, Robin Conner, 33, was arrested for allegedly shoplifting at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Columbus. Reports say that she was on-duty and in uniform in a patrol car. She was even taken to jail in her own cruiser, according to WTVA!
WTVA reports she was booked into the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center for shoplifting/less than $1,000. According to Columbus Police Chief Joseph Daughtry, she is accused of stealing a pair of $140 shoes.
She now has a court date set for April 4th.
Don’t Commit Crimes In Your Work Uniform
What on earth was she thinking? Is this one of those times that an officer thinks they are above the law? Certainly she can’t think she can just walk into Dick’s and take whatever she wants? It doesn’t make any sense! People are strange.
However, things are starting to add up. Sometimes, all you need to do in order to connect the dots are see the mugshot. Now, after seeing hers I think I understand a little more of what was going on. She looks rough. In the nicest way possible, she looks very rough.
Check out Robin Conner’s mugshot shared by the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office below. Remember: don’t commit crimes. However, if you absolutely have to…then don’t do it wearing your work uniform! Especially if you’re a cop. No matter what the uniform is Police, McDonald’s, Pro Sports, don’t wear your own uniform while committing a crime. It’s bad enough that you’re embarrassing yourself, don’t bring your place of work down with you. You’re going to need that job to pay off some fines and fees!

5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
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.

Craziest Crimes
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!
5 of the Dumbest Crimes Ever Committed
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
