This Thief Is A Real Dum-Dum.
A bank robbery suspect's love for Dum-Dum
lollipops led police right to his front door. Michael Brown, 33, pleaded
not guilty to charges of robbery, commercial theft and burglary, stemming
from a bungled bank heist late last year.
Brown allegedly smashed the glass door of the Marked Tree (Arkansas) Bank
after hours on Nov. 16, 2002. After discovering that there was no money
for the taking, he grabbed a portable radio and fistfuls of peppermints
and Dum-Dums, according to Marked Tree Police Detective Mark Robinson.
The next morning, authorities followed a trail of the candy wrappers down
the street and across railroad tracks to a trailer park where Brown was
staying.
Besides the trail he left, Brown also looked directly into the bank's
security cameras and triggered an alarm during the heist. Brown also was
wanted for a break-in at a local jewelry store. During that heist, Brown
allegedly stole a case of rings from the display in the window. The rings
turned out to be plastic imitations.
"Needless to say, he's not the brightest chip on the block," said
Robinson.
