Our bozo criminal for today comes from the Halloween File. It seems a Target in Tampa Bay, Florida suffered an incident of vandalism last week in which about 80 pumpkins on display outside the store were destroyed. And the store’s video surveillance system caught our bozo in action as he picked out pumpkins one by one and smashed them to the ground. That would probably have been the end of the story if, for reasons known only to the bozo mind, our bozo decided to return to this very Target to do some shopping. Brought to the loss prevention office and asked if he could identify the person in the footage, he replied, “That’s me.” And in way of explanation, he offered up the Bozo Excuse of the Week. He said he destroyed the gourds because someone on facebook was “messing” with him and made him mad. Well, OK then. Police have charged him with felony criminal mischief and he’s cooling his heels in jail on $5000 bond. His rap sheet includes convictions for burglary, battery, trespass, criminal mischief, and reckless driving. And one other strange note, his arrest sheet lists his profession as “violinist.”
