Our dumb criminals

Today's "duh" moment comes from Dorchester's Harbor Point complex, where Shawn M. Funches learned last night that if you are (allegedly) breaking into nearby apartments, it's not a good idea to use a victim's credit card to pay for some take-out delivered to your apartment:

... Officers entered the apartment with the search warrant and discovered the suspect hiding in a bedroom closet. Further search of the apartment yielded a number of items reported stolen by victims of the breaks including laptops, stolen checks, and credit cards. Officers also recovered a number of burglarious tools in the apartment. ...

But give points to Daniel Jones of Clinton for his alleged comments to officers early this morning behind a Mobil station on Blue Hill Avenue:

... Officers asked the suspect what he was doing and he responded "Just smoking a blunt!" ...

Impatient officers did not let him finish, however.
