Twice previously we have blogged about brilliant criminals who were
captured because police simply followed their footprints in the snow.
This first of these was in South Carolina, and we had at least some
sympathy for the clueless crook because snowfall is so infrequent there.
But the second episode took place right here in New Jersey, so there is
no excuse other than what the late comedian Steve Allen termed
"dumbth."
Dumbth, apparently, is not uncommon, because this past Friday two guys held up a barber shop in Mercer County and shot one of the employees, then fled... leaving footprints in the newly-fallen snow. Those footprints were among the clues the police used to identify and arrest the dynamic duo shortly after the crime.
Fortunately, the barber shop employee who was shot was not mortally wounded. At the moment, jail, not snow, is where the two crooks are cooling their heels.
