2011 wouldn’t be complete without a look back at some of the most bizarre criminals and their antics. There were plenty to choose from, so here’s a look at the five.
First up -- Eric Whitaker -- a guy allegedly hammered and then went on the prowl for his ex-girlfriend.
“Oh my God he just went into the store. He ran into the store. That’s part of the story and its amazing nobody was hurt.”
It’s not like there were cameras or anything - but how about what he does next?
“Here you see Whitaker get out of the truck and actually look underneath to see if he hit the woman. He missed and you see her running away. At that point Whitaker actually walks from the store. Freeze it right here. You see that woman he passes. She’s a nurse who saw the crash and stopped to help, but she left her SUV running. And get this - Whitaker decides to take the SUV and get away, but he doesn’t get far. You saw that right? He collides head on with a bread truck.”
From one drunk guy to the next. Back in October Newsy reported on a clever father who allegedly thought it was a good idea to have his nine year old daughter - be his designated driver.
““A red van pulls into a gas station during the early morning hours of October 8. The driver, having trouble lining up to the pump, sticks her head out for a better look. After a little maneuvering, the van is finally put into park. Behind the wheel that whole time sitting on a booster seat? A nine-year-old girl.”
And then - yeah why not go ahead and implicate yourself while you’re at it?
Whitaker: “I got a designated driver and she’s such a good driver. She’s nine years old.”
From drunks to plumps. Newsy reported on a heavy-set woman who stole a pricey mink coat by stashing it in her undies. After three days in jail, she had to come clean.
“Before getting a body search on Monday, Moreland unloaded – admitting she stashed the $6500 mink in her unmentionables. The sheriff explains to City Pages…
“The woman had modified her underwear so that, from behind, it didn't look like she was wearing any. The coat, meanwhile, was stuffed in front.”
She was busted - and so was this next guy we are about to show you. He wasn’t your average Joe though - this was an on-duty police officer in New Mexico.
“Security cameras set up to catch vandals, captured the officer in full uniform having sex with a woman on the hood of a car. The incident took place at a county owned ranch in Santa Fe...

And finally - if you are looking to add some more rump to your trunk - don’t go to this person.
In November, a man was charged with practicing medicine without a license and causing bodily harm. Here’s Newsy’s Lauren Zima - with what allegedly was goin on.
“Oneal Ron Morris was charging Florida women $700 for injections into their behinds to make their backsides bigger and rounder … like his. Only problem is that Morris’ injection cocktail was made up of mineral oil, cement and and Fix a Flat tire repair gel, and he sealed the wounds with super glue.”
Of course, all these folks are innocent until proven guilty. If you’d like to see more stories like this - share your thoughts in our comments section.
