From The Blotter (the Statesman's crime blog):
Kelly Roan, 28, and his girlfriend might have gotten away with multiple burglaries, police say, if he hadn't shot himself in the foot, literally.
Roan was driving with Casey Dixon, who is eight months pregnant, about 9:45 p.m. Sunday [...] when Dixon handed him a handgun, according to an arrest affidavit. It went off and Roan crashed, the affidavit said.
After the crash, a witness who stopped to aid the couple heard Roan tell Dixon to "get rid of the other stuff," the witness told police. Then Dixon threw the handgun and several other items, including two driver's licenses and a high school ID, off the edge of the elevated highway [...]
The poor hapless criminal literally shot himself in the foot.
You're welcome, Katie. I know how much you will love this story.
