Not exactly the smartest crook in the land

This would-be robber is actually one heck of a dunce.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A 34-year-old man is in custody after authorities say he gave a teller his account number and showed her his picture ID before robbing an Anchorage bank.

The FBI says Jarell Paul Arnold of Anchorage is being held on federal bank robbery charges.

The FBI alleges Arnold walked into an Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch Friday and inquired about the balance on his account. The teller asked for his name, account number and ID.

Authorities say he complied, and then handed over a receipt with a note on the back that said he had a gun and demanded money.

Thank God he's going behind bars, where he can't shame the rest of the species any longer. Aïe.
