Ferndale may have an entrant in the "World's Dumbest Criminal" category

Have you ever found yourself laughing yourself silly over the examples of the "World's Dumbest Criminal" that are read by some radio personalities or printed out on the Internet or in other places? If you have, and you live in Ferndale, you may personally know the next likely candidate for the list.

Police arrested a man on Sept. 16 after he tried to rob a Ferndale store. He disguised himself by wearing a Darth Vader mask. There was just one small problem: He didn't put the mask on until he entered the store and had already been seen -- sans mask -- by a number of people.
