A trail of Cheetos in St. Paul led police to three teens suspected of pilfering a vending machine.

Officers had been called to the Arlington Recreation Center, 665 Rose Ave., about 1 a.m. July 29 about a burglary.

A vending machine's glass had been broken with a chair and most of the candy and chips were stolen, said a criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court.

Police followed a trail of Cheetos from the rec center, around the side of the building and to a home in the 600 block of Rose Avenue, where a witness said she saw the suspects go, the complaint said.

In the home, police found numerous vending-sized bags of Cheetos, the complaint said. Nineteen 2-ounce bags of Cheetos and one 2-ounce bag of Sun Chips were found, though it wasn't clear from the complaint where they were.

Police saw a car pull in front of the home and Deveaon Michael Bady Jr., 18, of North St. Paul, got out and went inside. A 17-year-old male was in the car. Bady and Jesse Jamal Fairley, 19, of St. Paul, came out of the home, where they said they had been playing video games for a couple of hours, the complaint said.

Police arrested the three teens, who all denied being involved the burglary, the complaint said.

The Ramsey County attorney's office has charged Bady and Fairley with third-degree burglary. The 17-year-old, who is from St. Paul, was charged with third-degree criminal damage to property.

There are certainly some dumb crooks around that would qualify for their own special category of the Darwin awards.

In the building that I am in, one enterprising fellow went to all the trouble of breaking in through the roof, then the ceiling before risking his neck by dropping nine feet to the floor below to get a major haul of Cherry Ripes and Mars bars.

The police found him an hour or so later sitting in a lounge chair in his home surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers and feeling very, very ill.

When he made his get away he used plastic carry bags for his loot but forgot that he had brought with him a large sports bag for the purpose and left it at the scene.

His name and address was prominently stencilled on the bag.

Cheers.

At times like these, it relieves me that we no longer give petty crooks the option to go the military (or do we)?

Imagine these fellows near a pile of C4.

Or put them in the Air Force near the nukes. That would explain a lot though.

One of my favorite Ron White stories. the only Redneck comedy guy that I find funny.

Yesterday I was sitting on a beanbag chair, naked, eating Cheetos and I was flipping through the television and I saw Robert Tilton.

He's a televangelist out of Dallas, and he was staring at me.
He looked at me and said, "Are you lonely?" Yeah.

"Have you spent half your life in bars, pursuing sins of the flesh?" This guy's good!

"Are you sitting in a beanbag chair, naked, eating Cheetos?" yes, sir!

"Do you have the urge to get up and send me a thousand dollars?" Close!

I thought he was talking about me there for a second! Apparently I'm not the only cat on the block that digs Cheetos.

I like getting baked and eating Cheetos.
