Asleep At The 'Steal.'
An alleged burglar was arrested after
apparently falling asleep on the job.
Police charged Joseph Carl Jones Jr. with burglary and theft of a firearm
after an employee of the A Little Bit Country western emporium store in
Ft. Worth, Texas arrived on the morning of Feb. 7 and found the store in
disarray. The employee checked upstairs to make sure everything was secure
and to her surprise found Jones asleep in a bed.
The employee also noticed someone had used the store's toilet without
flushing and left a handgun on the bathroom counter.
Police arrived and arrested Jones, who was none to happy to be awakened
from his slumber. He was disoriented and said he was sleeping and wanted
to be left alone, said Lt. Mike McAllister of the Mineral Wells Police
Department.
Authorities say Jones stole the gun from a vehicle a few blocks away and
suspect he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Oh, by the way, the store Jones was accused of robbing belonged to the
wife of the local district attorney.
