World’s Least Intimidating Criminal

Posted on | January 3, 2013 | 12 Comments

Say hello to Zachary Dalton Howard of Niceville, Florida. About 10 p.m. on Dec. 22, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Department, 22-year-old Howard walked into a convenience store “dressed in a long black coat, hoodie and blue jeans. He told the clerk he had a firearm but never showed a weapon. He left without getting any money after the clerk showed him an empty cash register drawer.”

Howard then went to a nearby Winn-Dixie grocery store, where he called his mother for a ride home.

After he was arrested, Howard told deputies he never had a weapon. He has been charged with one count of robbery.

    He’s lucky the clerk didn’t drill him full of .45 slugs.

    I suspect he belonged to “Occupy Niceville.”

    He looks like he was smoking too much dope.

    So then, if he DID get the money, was the plan still to go to the Winn-Dixie and call Mom for a ride? Or just hail a cab?

    He looks stupid and mentally stunted. He has listless moron eyes.

    The report doesn’t say whether he is, in fact, a registered Democrat.

    Weapon or not, in many states even saying you have a weapon makes it “armed robbery” — and for good reason.

    That’s how “Guess the Party” is played.
