Brevard County Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey has described Darren Durrant as the ‘world’s dumbest criminal’ “after he shoved a crossbow down his sweatpants and walked out of a True Value store on February 6 without paying”. The Daily Mail has more on Darren Durrant shoving a crossbow down his sweatpants and walking away with a crutch.
Durrant, who was using a crutch to walk, was seen on surveillance footage stealing a pair of cutting tools before making his way to the crossbow section, and clipping the zip ties off a Ravin R10 Crossbow, which costs around $1,300.
In footage released by police, the 46-year-old can be seen walking down the aisle and setting his single crutch down. He throws a quick glance over his shoulder before going all in, shoving half the weapon down his pants and pulling his jacket tightly around the rest of it.
After the unusual feat, he is seen walking normally back over to the crutch then ‘limping’ away, with the bow heavily protruding from the front of his pants down to his left knee. ‘Just when you think you have seen it all, this guy takes carrying a concealed weapon to a whole new level,’ Ivey wrote on Facebook. ‘He proves to all of us that you can actually stuff a crossbow down the front of your pants!!’
Believe it or not, the man made it out the door, despite the bad concealment. He was caught two days later in a parking lot by a nearby Walgreens, police reported, and fled on foot. The sheriff wrote: ‘Believe it or not, Durrant actually fled on foot when he observed Deputy Lindo, although, as you might imagine after seeing the video, he didn’t get very far!!”
He was arrested on February 15 after the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office issued a felony petit theft charge.
