Stupid Criminals: Criminal Surrenders to the Promise of a Mountain Dew

In this edition of Stupid Criminals, we find a criminal with a strong craving for over caffeinated soda.

According to the Portland Press Herald, 30-year-old Michael Crockett, Jr. of Buxton, Maine was wanted for home invasion, robbery, and assault.

So he hid out in the woods for a few days eluding police.

Crockett finally contacted his attorney this past Sunday to make a deal with police to get him out of the woods.

He stated he would surrender, but only if they agreed to give him some Mountain Dew.  Crockett also wanted some chocolate milk and a pizza, and police agreed to the deal.

Crockett came out of the woods, turned himself in, and police drove him to a convenience store where they bought him what he wanted.

He ate the pizza, drank the chocolate milk and Mountain Dew, then headed to jail on robbery and aggravated assault charges.

If only every criminal was so easily influenced to turn themselves in.
