Idiot for the day


Alex Wigglesworth has an article at Philly.com about yet another idiot criminal:
A former state employee is facing Federal charges for allegedly stealing more than six hundred military combat helmets from his job at a Pennsylvania surplus warehouse.
Michael Gantz, 43, worked as an acquisition officer at the Pennsylvania Department of General Services' surplus property warehouse until July of 2014, according to criminal charges filed in US District Court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Between July of 2009 and January of 2010, he allegedly stole over six hundred combat helmets provided by the Federal government for distribution to state and local law enforcement officers. The helmets have an estimated value of more than five thousand dollars, according to investigators.
Gantz, of Marietta, Pennsylvania, has filed an agreement indicating he will plead guilty to a felony count of theft concerning programs receiving Federal funds, prosecutors said.
He faces up to ten years in prison and a quarter million dollars in fines, in addition to restitution.
The case was investigated by the Department of Defense's Defense Logistic Agency and the Office of the Inspector General's Defense Criminal Investigative Service.
It will be prosecuted by Senior Litigation Counsel Bruce Brandler of the US Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Rico says some crimes are really dumb...
