Alexander Welch is a 20 year old kid that lives in Boise, Idaho. He downloaded an application on his smartphone that emulates the police blue and red light flashes. He used this app to pull a car over as a prank, not knowing whether it would work. The car pulled over and Welch drove away from the scene.

A Brooklyn man named Jose Perez, 22, went on Craigslist and put a salvaged vehicle up for sale. The car was a 2004 Nissan Maxima and he used the title from another vehicle to forge the title for the Maxima. Perez also used a different name on the title and bill of sale.

Here’s an interesting story: Joshua Seal had recently kidnapped his employee Allen Begley, who is also his son-in-law. Seal thought that Begley stole $245 worth of rings from a job site, which would negatively effect his business.

At the Ben-Gurion International Airport, an Israeli woman was caught trying to smuggle 44 iPhone devices under her clothes. She even stuffed some of them in her stockings. The woman was in her 60′s and was returning from London. The full-body scanners detected the 44 phones under her clothes, which happened to be a traditional Georgian outfit. She looked like she was walking with difficulty so that is how she got the attention from Customs. Looks like we have another Hall of Shame here.

George Bronk is going in the Pulse2.com Hall of Shame. This is because he used Facebook to find out the personal information of random women and blackmail them afterward. Here is how he did it:

Indiana resident Shemicka McVey (21) wanted to see the Facebook page of her boyfriend Maurice Davenport (22) but this led to a fight that involves a stabbing. Davenport closed the lid of the laptop and punched McVey in the head. McVey said she “accidentally” cut Davenport with a knife. No charges have been filed and the two have a daughter with each other. I put this one in the Hall of Fame because fights should not be caused because of a Facebook profile page. [Jezebel]

What happens when you dress up like Darth Vader and wear pink hospital scrubs then go out and try to rob a bank in a grocery store? You end up in the Pulse2.com Hall of Shame. Gregory Sanchez dressed up in the aforementioned outfit and tried to rob a Bank of America branch within the same Albertsons grocery store that he worked at as a “courtesy clerk.” Sanchez had a hatchet, a black wig, and gloves too. “The robber’s elaborate disguise did not keep from getting caught later on,” stated Captain Mike Parker. The crime took place in the 19000 block of Colima Road in Los Angeles. Sanchez is being held on a $100,000 bail. [LA Times]

Jerome Taylor is a 20 year old that walked into the Northern Indian restaurant in New London, Connecticut and tried to rob it with an iPhone. Taylor believed that his iPhone looked enough like a small handgun so that he could demand money from the cooks. Except the cooks at the restaurant pulled out knives in defense and refused to give away any money. Scared by the cooks, Jerome told them that he was just kidding and said that he needed money for his child. He ran off before police got there, but eventually he was arrested. The restaurant decided not to press charges against Jerome because they felt bad for him. I’m putting Jerome in the “Hall of Shame.” [Gizmodo]
