DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: WOMAN HITS HERSELF WITH BOWLING BOWL TO COVER FOR CRIME

by Hazed

Police in Decatur sprang into action when they received a report from a bowling alley that a robber had knocked a woman unconscious with a bowling ball and then made off with the contents of the safe.

Eight officers sped to the scene of the crime, using emergency lights and travelling at “an increased rate of speed.” When they got there, the woman, Jamie Gordon, told them she didn’t see the assailant because she’d been struck from behind and knocked out. She said that $2,100 had been stolen from the safe.

Naturally, police were keen to find out more about the mystery assailant, so when the manager arrived, he gave them permission to look at the surveillance video. What they saw didn’t tally with the woman’s story – not one bit!

Instead, it showed her hitting herself in the back of her head, then dropping to the floor, where she waited until another employee discovered her.

When confronted by this incontrovertible evidence, and asked where the money was, Gordon said that some of it was in her car – $439 to be precise. The rest, she said she’d gambled away in the establishment’s slot machines.

She then admitted that she had gambled away her paycheck, then started taking money from the drawers and safe. Oh dear.
