Drawn To Crime

Police Sketch Looks Drawn By Toddler

Yet Is Dead Ringer For Suspect

Busted: Glenn Rundles

A police sketch dubbed the ‘worst ever’ has amazingly led to an arrest.

Glenn Rundles from Paris, Texas was arrested on Tuesday after a patrolman from the local sheriff’s department claimed he recognised the man from the cartoon-like depiction.

Lamar County Sheriff’s Department had released the picture last week in the hope of tracking down the mugging suspect and it received lots of publicity… but for all the wrong reasons.

The image went viral, sparking hilarity and outrage among social media users and online news sites with many claiming it was the worst police sketch ever.

Cops said the image of the criminal had been sketched by an experienced police artist with the use of descriptions from two victims and claimed it was a ‘composite sketch’ rather than a likeness.

But it is the police who have had the last laugh as Mr Rundles was charged with aggravated robbery and a host of other crimes including indecent exposure, burglary of a habitation, criminal mischief and evading arrest.

From our friends in the British Press:

Texan women mugged by perplexed-looking cartoon

This drawing of a suspect wanted in connection with the serious robbery of two women in Texas might just be the worst police sketch of all time.

The Lamar County Sheriff’s Department released the drawing – which they stress is a composite sketch, not a likeness – to help track down the man who allegedly mugged two women at knife point on Thursday.

But it seems unlikely that the sketch will aid the police in their inquiries given that it appears to depict a confused-looking cartoon man.
...
The suspect the police sketcher was trying to draw fits the victims’ description of a man ’6 foot tall or a little taller, approximately 25 to 30 years old with no or very thin facial hair, and a muscular build.’

The description adds: ‘His nose was straight with no flare in the nostrils. He has short black hair and a round face, with tattoos covering both arms and a tattoo on the left side of his neck.’

The authorities also said: ‘The victim was adamant about the tattoo on his neck having a lot of red ink in it.’

Right. So let’s all have a giggle at those silly cowboys in Texas. Those half-civilized Americans. Putting a cartoon character on the local Most Wanted List. Who’s next, Homer Simpson? Egad. Quite. Thank goodness our constabulary have proper descriptive artists. None of this cartoon nonsense!

Meanwhile, in Peiper’s corner of the Realm, the manhunt continues for the notorious criminal known as “lettuce head” from his police sketch.

Police have defended a ‘lettuce-head’ e-fit of a distraction burglar who stole £60 from an elderly woman in Stockbridge, Hampshire.

Despite the offender being described as having wavy blonde/grey hair, Hampshire police released an e-fit of the suspect with bright green hair – earning the character the ‘lettuce-head’ nickname.

Officers have stated that the oddly-coloured hair was a result of a ‘technical error’.

A Hampshire police spokeswoman told The Daily Telegraph: ‘We make every effort to ensure that the e-fits we circulate are as accurate and detailed as they possibly can be from the description provided by the witness.

‘We are, though, currently experiencing technical problems with the quality of the hair and are waiting for an upgrade to the system from the company who provides us with the software.

‘It is important to point out that the suspect in this case is described as having blond-grey hair.’

Funny thing though: so far the local plod’s search has focused around the local Burger Kings and McDonald’s parking lots.

  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
