Randy Cliett Is A Slow Learner - Jailed After He Became Stuck In Air Vent While Burglarizing Same Store He Was Caught Burglarizing Before

Randy Cliett Jail Booking Report

Haines City, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Randy Cliett, a 49-year-old Florida man who recently completed a 5-year prison sentence for burglarizing a supermarket, was arrested again when he became stuck in an air shaft while attempting to burglarize the SAME supermarket.

According to Haines City police, police were dispatched Tuesday morning after a witness reported hearing cries for help coming from the rooftop of La Placita Mexico Supermarket.

Investigators say Cliett spent Monday night stuck in a rooftop air shaft while he attempted to shimey down an air shaft leading into the store.

Cliett, who has been convicted 14 times for burglary, drug possession and domestic battery was released from prison just two months ago. His release came after serving five-years for burglarizing the same supermarket years earlier.

When emergency responders arrived on scene, they discovered Cliett lodged inside the air vent feet first. A firefighter pulled Cliett from the vent before turning him over to police.

Cliett was booked into the Polk County Jail on charges of burglary, criminal damage to property, possession of burglary tools and criminal mischief.

The Weekly Vice Opinion:

I've posted just a few of Cliett's mugshots - taken from 1994 until present. It's interesting to see what wasting away in prison has done to the man over the past 15 years.

Daniel O’Brien’s Plans For A 12-Year-Old Girl Included “Kissing, Licking, Sucking And Having Babies With Her”

Littleton, MA (The Weekly Vice) - Daniel O'Brien, a 32-year-old Virginia man was arrested Friday after he allegedly attempted to kidnap a 12-year-old Littleton girl in a quest to get her to love him and then have babies with him.

According to Littleton police, O'Brien met the young girl on a website where people can post their hopes and goals called 43things.com. The girl posted that she wanted to run away from home and never get caught.

O'Brien, posing as a 25-yer-old, emailed the girl offering to help in her quest, despite knowing her age.

Investigators say he made plans to travel to Littleton by train and take the girl back to VA to live with him and his mother.

O'Brien’s plans came to light when the girl's parents caught her attempting to bring extra clothes and cash to school. After checking e-mail exchanges between the girl and O’Brien, the parents learned the two had been communicating for a couple of months. Police were notified immediately.

Police arrested O'Brien when his train arrived at Littleton. He had two one-way tickets back to Virginia in his possession. O'Brien told police that he was going to bring her home to "kiss her, lick her and suck her and get her to love him and have babies together."

O'Brien was jailed on charges of attempted kidnapping and reckless endangerment of a minor. His bail was set at $50,000.

Investigators say O'Brien also contacted two other young girls in New York and Tennessee.

The Weekly Vice Opinion:

His brutal honesty amazes and sickens me. Where are the attempted sexual abuse charges? Thank God the parents had a good eye for detail and stopped a terrible thing from happening to this girl. He seems pretty sick especially since he still lives with his mother....

Donald Crawford Demonstrates How To Loose A Semi Tractor Trailer In A Strip Club Parking Lot

Indianapolis, IN (The Weekly Vice) - Donald Crawford, a 39-year-old Indiana man was arrested Tuesday after leaving his 5-year-old son alone in a semi tractor trailer while he was inside a strip club. He then called police when his truck and son turned up missing.

According to Indianapolis police, officers were dispatched to a strip club when Crawford reported his tractor-trailer missing, along with his son who was sleeping inside.

Investigators say Crawford left his son out in the truck while he patronized Sassy Kat's Showclub, a local strip club. When Crawford exited the club and couldn't find his truck, he called police.

Fortunately for Crawford, his truck was right where he left it. He was simply too drunk to remember where he had parked it.

Unfortunately for Crawford, he was arrested for endangering his son's life by leaving him alone.

"The semi truck was still right where he left it," stated the arrest report. "His level of intoxication prevented him from finding it."

Police found the truck along with the boy who was watching cartoons inside the truck's cab. The keys were in the ignition and the doors were unlocked, according to detectives.

Crawford was booked into the Marion County Jail on charges of felony child neglect and public intoxication. The truck was towed away and the boy was turned over to Crawford's wife.
