It was brought up on one of our previous comment threads that investigative agencies assign crazy names to robbers/felons to get more press (Thank friend-of-the-blog Jeffry Pilcher for that little tidbit).
Most of the names match characteristics of the robbers. Example: if the robber is wearing a cowboy hat, he's labeled the "Cowboy Bandit". If he/she is wearing a clown costume, he's obviously going to be the "Clown Bandit".
Which is why we award the "Duh of the Week" to:
Why is this a "Duh of the Week"? Well, he didn't DRESS UP as a zombie. He just looked and acted a lot like a zombie - a byproduct of the crack cocaine addiction that drove his crime spree.
Here's hoping that the time the robber spends in prison helps him get over his addictions and that his arrest gives the folks at Redwood CU (and elsewhere across the midwest and west coast) a bit of relief.
Enjoy your "Duh" award, Zombie bandit. Here's hoping you develop a little more "braaaaaiiinnnsss".
