Black-faced suspects quickly apprehended

Suspects in an attempted burglary at a Carroll apartment Friday night weren't too difficult to identify.

A resident of 1844 Randall Road called 911 to report two men with their faces painted black were trying to break into an apartment.

Moments later, Carroll police officers pulled over a car matching the suspects' vehicle a couple blocks away and found the two occupants with faces blackened by a permanent marker.

Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, were arrested without incident.

Police said the caller described two males with painted faces and wearing black hooded sweatshirts attempting to enter an apartment at 11:32 p.m. The caller then said the suspects drove off in a large white car.

An officer observed a white 1994 Buick Roadmaster turning onto 18th Street from Randall Road, and the vehicle was stopped about a block away at the corner of 18th and North Main.

1. Darwin strikes again

Ah well.

3. Nah, they have to exit the gene pool for a Darwin

But looking at these faces, I am persuaded that some sort of mind-altering substance was in liberal use.

2. Friends don't give their Republican friends permanet markers.

4. Which one came up with the idea?

And did they steal the marker?

5. The only crook possibly dumber than these guys is...

McArthur Wheeler who walked into two Pittsburgh area banks and robbed them with no apparent attempt to conceal or disguise his identity. When apprehended later at his home, Wheeler mumbled somewhat in a stunned fashion, "but, I wore the juice!". Somehow Wheeler had been led to believe that if one swabbed lemon juice on one's face, it rendered security cameras unable to record one's image.

Barnum was right.

6. Was their plan to get potential victims to fall over weak from laughter?

I'd have given those two anything they wanted from my place, if they let me call a few friends and neighbors over first so we could all crap our pants from laughing so hard.

It would be well worth giving them a TV or DVD player just to see them in action.
