SPOT THE MISTAKE....

...YOU HAVE TWO TO CHOOSE FROM!

John Fowler was released from jail at 3:29 pm. on Sunday, having been arrested by the Highway Patrol for driving while suspended and for operating his vehicle in an unsafe manner.

Two-and-a-half hours later, at about 6 pm, a female jailer, Stephanie Criter, reported the theft of $10 and three credit cards from her purse, which was inside her car. She had seen Fowler standing by her car just after he had been released - in fact, she had spoken to him when he asked her for a cigarette. A short time later, there was a report that a man had tried to use Crites credit card.

The recently released inmate was caught soon after. He was found in possession of three credit cards and a baggie of marijuana. Within a few hours of being released, he was back behind bars.

So, we can forgive Fowler for mistake number one - even though he was thieving even before he left the grounds of the jail, we can put that down to his excitement at being released.

But trying to use a stolen credit card that belongs to the opposite sex - nope, we can't forgive that one!
