In this edition of Stupid Criminals, we find a man that was ratted out by his six-year-old daughter.

According to WISN-TV, 31-year-old Scott Birk of New Berlin, Wisconsin was at a Walmart last month with his six-year-old daughter and a security guard thought he saw Birk shoplifting, so he called the police.

When they got there, Birk swore he hadn't taken anything, and maybe they would have believed him, if his daughter hadn't decided to rat him out.

She told police her dad did break into a jewelry case and steal some earrings, and he also had stolen some toys, which he had shoved down his shorts.

Police asked Birk how he had gotten to the Walmart because he doesn't have a license, and he said they walked, but his daughter jumped in again and told the police they had driven there.  She even pointed out their car in the parking lot.

Birk was arrested and charged with a few misdemeanors, including theft and bail jumping.  But since he has priors, he is facing up to five years in prison.
