Idaho Man Accused Of Using Homemade Barcode At Walmart
An Idaho man is accused of using a homemade barcode to buy a $300 grill from Walmart for the price of a tomato soup. You can’t do that.
The Caldwell Police Department took to Instagram to highlight a man who reportedly stole a grill from a Walmart in Caldwell, Idaho. The suspect has been caught and detained. He’s been identified as 32-year-old Dylan Rockwell. Unfortunately, it sounds like he won’t be able to enjoy that cheap grill he was able to obtain. Sounds like he might be eating more cafeteria-style food going forward and won’t have the chance to cook up anything delicious on that grill.

Caldwell Chief Of Police Rex Ingram tells Local 12, “Sorry Mr. Rockwell, your tactics didn’t work this time but we appreciate your creativity. We know that times are tough but your ingenuity got you some county soup for dinner.” Figured they were going to take a jab about the meals. You can’t resist it.
Rockwell has been charged with burglary (which is a felony). You can see his mugshot provided by the Caldwell Police Department below.
5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
