can look back on the colorful, rich tapestry of our lives and admit, with fondness, our
dumbest mistakes. That has to be the case with the gallery of
rogues we bring to your attention today. From the groom who called in a bomb threat
on his wedding day to the burglar who forgot to log off of facebook in his victim’s house,
all these people have one thing in common – that got busted for a silly mistake. Let’s take a look at these hapless criminals
and find out why a career in crime just isn’t for everyone, in this episode of the Infographics
Show – Top Ten Dumbest Reasons People Were Arrested and Thrown in Jail. Neil McArdie (for reasons known only to himself)
didn’t get around to booking the reception venue for his big wedding day and simply didn’t
have what it takes to tell his bride-to-be about his oversight. Instead, he panicked before deciding to cover
up his mistake by phoning in a hoax bomb threat on that special day. Authorities didn’t see the humor in this,
and McArdie was handed a 12 month sentence. In a matter of minutes, a love bird turned
into a jail bird. Gary Harrington from rural Oregon was arrested
and sentenced to 30 days in jail for collecting rainwater into three barrels on his own property. The State of Oregon had him arrested on the
charge of stockpiling illegal reservoirs. Just, wow. The water that falls from the sky onto his
property is owned, according to the state of oregon, by the Medford Water Commission. This was dumb on Mr. Harrington’s part to
be fair. But the charge is so bizarre it simply had
to have a place on our list. Ghost impersonator Anthony Stallard was arrested
for hanging out at a cemetery and disturbing mourners in Portsmouth, England. It is unknown whether Mr Stallard used the
standard white sheet for his ghostly impression, but it is understood that he was heavily intoxicated
with alcohol during his terrifying and yes, spirited, performance. Suzanne Hulvert and Carl Owen Smith began
arguing in an LA Taco Bell restaurant. Things became heated as Hulvert smacked Smith
around the back of the head with a Taco Bell Supreme Burrito. Smith responded by stabbing his significant
other with a plastic fork before fleeing to a nearby bar to drown his sorrows. The pair were both arrested and booked for
what was essentially a heated food fight. A homeless woman in Florida was arrested and
charged with disorderly conduct and ‘dancing in a vulgar manner’ in Lake County in 2016. Turns out the woman was just a hapless victim
of the current twerking craze and was no doubt honing her technique. It was simply unfortunate that a bus full
of school kids happened to be passing at the time and were not so impressed by the twerking
vagrant shaking her ass to the morning traffic. Nicholas Wig, decided to update his facebook
status while burglarizing a house. All well and good, but he probably should
have logged off before leaving his victim’s house. Police had no problem tracking the dim-witted
criminal down. In fact it was probably the easiest crime
they’ve ever solved. Since being locked up in jail, Nicholas’s
relationship status is listed as ‘complicated.’ In 2014 a woman was arrested in Gainesville,
Georgia after police suspected a spoon found in her car had residue of methamphetamine
on it. The woman explained that the spoon contained
hardened residue of some spaghetti hoops that she’d eaten in the car a month before. But the cops weren’t buying it. She spent a month behind bars before the lab
results confirmed her story was true. A Colorado woman was arrested for trying to
break into jail. Monique Deshawn Armstrong thought she’d
break in to rescue her brother. She made it past a razor wire fence surrounding
Mesa County jail, and once inside demanded the release of her sibling. We assume that’s it harder to break out
of jail than to break in, and we guess Ms Armstrong will find out for herself. In March, 2012, Kansas man Bryan Paul Smith
was sentenced to four and a half years after holding his neighbor’s pet spider hostage. Smith had been looking after the neighbor’s
spider and had become rather attached to it. When the victim asked for the spider back,
Smith made demands for money. The demands turned to threats with Smith wanting
to keep the spider and receive $100, otherwise he’d shoot his victim. The victim called the police who eventually
unraveled the sticky web of Smith’s bizarre social life and had him arrested. Lori Teel from New Mexico spent the night
in jail for an overdue library book. She checked out the Twilight book from her
local library and promptly forgot about it. She was arrested in front of her kids at home,
handcuffed, and marched to the police station for processing. Not only is she being charged for crimes against
public services, she is also being questioned for crimes against literature. You probably won’t be going to jail for
