Here's what happens when you OVERTHINK your crimes.
There's a 35-year-old guy named Luke Dell from Beavercreek, Ohio. And on Tuesday, he had plans to rob a bank in Pennsylvania. Big plans. Complicated plans. Here's the breakdown . . .
1. He was going to steal a license plate from another car and put it on his.
2. Put on a realistic old man mask.
3. Go to a Bob Evans restaurant to give them a fake tip that there was an active shooter and bomb threat at two nearby schools.
4. Wait until the cops were distracted by those threats, then rob the bank.
BUT . . . when he went to the restaurant to tell them about the threats, the staff didn't just call the cops. They also told them about Luke and gave a description of his car.
So the cops pulled him over on the WAY to the bank robbery. And he was arrested on several charges, including terroristic threats, threat to use weapons of mass destruction, and theft of a license plate. But hey, not bank robbery.
(Here's a picture of Luke, and a picture of his old man mask.)
