Stupid Criminal 2: Another Thief “Gets Recognized”
December 16th, 2007 Categories: Stupid Criminals
First of all, Howard County is a very safe place to live, Check out this Interactive Crime Map tool provided by the Howard County Police. Unfortunately, crime is present in all of our communities. As a resident or home buyer you should be informed about crime statistics in the areas you plan to live in.
That leads us to our second nominee for stupid criminals…
Police arrested Robert Allen Flanagan who they say posed as an armored car driver at the Bank of America in Ellicott City last Thursday.
Bank employee’s recognized the man as a former employee of Dunbar but thought it was strange that he left with an un-disclosed amount of cash while driving his personal vehicle. Along with the detailed video footage Mr. Flanagan was identified and quickly picked up the next day at his home in PA.
Ironically, our Stupid Criminal 1 was also cuaght for much the same reasons, because he was so well recognized. So therefore we officially recognize our second criminal for none other than…Being Recognized!

Stupid Criminal 1: Elkridge Man shows up late for bank robbery.
November 23rd, 2007 Categories: Stupid Criminals
This is my first of a series I plan on doing for fun. I will be staking out our local papers and news sources to find local crime stories featuring “Stupid Criminals.” Comments are welcomed!
An Elkridge man planned to rob the PNC Bank in Elkridge last week but he showed up too late! Bank employee’s witnessed the man attempt to open the front door only to realize the bank had just closed. A description was established, he was wearing his hood and mask, had his gun in his hand, and a backpack for the loot. And did I mention the security camera’s also recorded his every move?
The police were called but he got away….for now.
