Dye Pack Explodes in Robber's Pants

Mar 27, 9:05 AM (ET)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A bank robbery suspect learned a painful lesson: Never shove stolen money containing an explosive dye pack down your pants.

Shortly after the National City Bank downtown was robbed Thursday, police spotted John Gladney, 40, about a block away, walking strangely, in obvious pain.

Officers stopped Gladney and discovered he had been injured when the dye pack exploded near his groin, said Sgt. Brent Mull, police spokesman.

Gladney was charged with aggravated robbery.

That dye pack had better have had a warning label in several different languages.

He will probably try, claiming an involuntary "removeadichtomy" procedure was performed on him.

Major Wrack!

And it's likely that from now on he'll be doing only a "Minor Whack".

That's got hurt!

Last thing said to the robber was "is that an inkpack in your pocket or are you just happy...."

If an event prevents an idiot from procreating, it is qualified as a "genetic" Darwin award.
