Canadian identity thief exposed himself to arrest

Filed under: Criminal Stupidity — Michael Hampton @ 5:29 pm

Donald Thomas Sloan, 49, was removed from an Amtrak train and arrested Friday in Elyria, Ohio, after being caught looking through other passengers’ luggage and exposing himself.

Now this sort of thing happens all the time, but the interesting part is what Sloan had on him at the time. He was carrying several identification cards, passports and social security cards from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, along with several thousand dollars in U.S. and Canadian cash and a five ounce gold bar.

That’s right, this apparent identity thief got caught by being stupid. Here’s a hint to all you criminals out there. Take a lesson from today’s Stupid Person of the Day and behave yourself!

Sloan will be arraigned Monday.
