Thieves Leave Paper Cup Trail

Investigators say Joshua and Nicholas Gollnick and their friend David Logan could be the dumbest criminals they've ever busted. Detectives say the trio broke into an assisted living center and stole a medicine cart filled with prescription painkillers!

After stealing the medicine cart loaded with thousands of dollars worth of Lortab, the men drove off and popped a few pills, but they left a few clues on their joy ride home. Lieutenant David White of the Foley Police Department says, "the cups were spilling out as they left the facility. We followed the trail of cups to the offenders' residence and were able to close out this case pretty quickly."

Dozens of paper and plastic medicine cups spilled out of the getaway car, leading police straight to the men. All three men have been charged with first degree theft, a crime police say is worthy of honorable mention in the archives of the world's dumbest criminals. White says that they have seen a lot of stuff, but this case is classic.

The medicine cup paper trail sealed the trio's fate. Foley resident Helen Marshall says she is proud of how Foley police handled things and it makes her feel safe. That little trail of evidence that could put these men behind bars for years.
