• Lawrence Crook, 37, of Jersey City, New Jersey, managed to live up to his name not once, but twice in one day on Oct. 8.
In the first incident, Crook was seen loading "several blue and white striped bags" into a black SUV, according to Oddee.com.
Lt. Antonio Granata said the witness confronted Crook, after which he fled on foot.
The SUV had been reported stolen, and police found Crook in possession of methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia.
He was arrested and released on bond.
But that was just the first part of his day.
Later, a lieutenant with the Fairfield Fire Department saw Crook walking around in a fire station and rummaging through firefighters' property. He was arrested again and now has two bonds, each set at $25,000. [Oddee.com, 10/20/2020]
