You’ve read about stupid criminals here on OFT, as well as the even more humorous reactions they provoke. But how about stupid Amish criminals? Last week, Levi Detweiler led police on a low-speed horse and buggy chase. It’s a quick story, but the best bit is this:

No word on whether the horse was a white Bronco.

This seems like a wisecrack the reporter might have scribbled down in his notes or quipped over the phone to his editor, except then they included it (sentence fragment and all) in the story. Excellent.
