Figured a good place to start IOTW is Iman Shumpert.
The former NBA guard, who won a championship with Cleveland and also won Dancing With The Stars, has an estimated career earnings at $50 million. Married to pop sensation Teyana Taylor (in Denver 8/10, get your tickets at live nation before they sell out), he is also a recording artist. His album "Substance Abuse" includes lyrics such as, "elevators get stuck, won't let me down".
Mr. Shumpert attempted to board a plane in Dallas while carrying 6.12 ounces of marijuana. Also found in his bag was a magazine for a Glock handgun, containing 14 rounds of live ammunition.
The police report says Shumpert, "asked if there was any way he could make his flight" to Los Angeles, where he was supposed to pick up his daughter, but the responding officer informed him he would not be making that flight, as he was being placed under arrest for marijuana possession.
I hereby nominate Iman Shumpert as IOTW.

If you are going to transport drugs, you have to have your own plane. There are no TSA gropers, lines, or waiting!

Why travel with your weed? You got money, you just score some more after you land and pick up your kid, like a responsible, toking adult.
I thought the idiot of the week was the guy who jumped over the counter in the Vegas vape shop and abruptly met a pocket knife 7 times

This week I nominate a 400 pound black bear that entered a Steamboat home, illegally I might add. Said bruin was met with a hail of gunfire from the mighty .40 S&W.
Bear dead.

You can nominate anyone you want. However, politicians are so overwhelmingly idiotic at all times, this thread would never have time for the true, shining idiots that capture our attention.

For my first post in some time, I'd like to nominate an employee of mine who got shit-faced at a competitors poker room, was asked to leave and refused early this morning. Cops arrived and he still refused to leave. He "recommended", to put it nicely, that the cops taze him if they want him to leave. So they did and they removed him. Idiot.

Wow that’s a true idiot. Any chance he’s a minority looking to get paid? Thankfully he chose poorly and his antics are on film…. It is a casino afterall.
I would have to go with President Joe Binden for launching the Student Debt Relief crap.
It's a Pandora's box, you can bet the 'limit' of 10K will double. He is a good puppet!
Idiot of the week is the poor kid who joined the military for college tuition money.

Just thinking of the teachers that taught on Reservations and in poverty areas to pay back their student loans.
It was not the fastest way to do that either.

My nominee this week is 29 year old Cory Patterson.
Patterson, a presumably former employee of Southeast Aviation in Tupelo, Mississippi, decided to steal a 1987 Beech C90A twin engine aircraft.
Patterson then flew erratically around the area, threatening to crash into the local WalMart and posting his goodbye on Facebook. He then landed (crash) after his 5 hour joyride.
He was taken into custody in a cornfield northwest of Tupelo.
No word on the condition of the corn.

OK. There's three police officers involved in this, and any of them are worthy of nomination. But I submit the one who parked his car on the train tracks.

A Platteville officer pulled the woman over. CBI says she stopped just past the railroad tracks and the officer pulled in behind her -- right on the train tracks.
Two Fort Lupton officers then arrived on scene and detained the woman on suspicion of felony menacing. She was placed in the back of the Platteville police cruiser.
“While the officers cleared the suspect vehicle as part of the investigation, a train traveling northbound struck the PPD patrol car,” CBI said.

I nominate the Federal Reserve. Goods and services are at all time high prices. So lets raise the cost of borrowing money! Putting groceries on your credit card and not paying it off right away, will cost more. It will be harder for low income families to buy a house. It will cost more for everything.

They just showed the cops' footage on channel 9. They put the girl suspect in the back of the truck sitting in the tracks and left the vehicle there as they went about doing police things.
Not one of them thought to move it?
The girl had 9 broken ribs, arm, sternum and other assorted injuries.
I second the nomination of these dopes.

That girl's what - 20 years old? Now she's got life changing injuries because of some cop that's too stupid to know you don't park on RR tracks? I hope she cashes in big time.

Creel ran into Gold's Gym in Cheyenne at about 6 p.m. Friday. He approached the front desk, said he had a bomb and wanted access to the cash drawer, says the Cheyenne Police Department's probable cause report.
The worker told Creel no.
So Creel went up to a male customer at the gym and punched him twice, according to the report.
The man tackled Creel and held him on the ground in a neck restraint while waiting for officers to arrive.
Probably try to rob a gun store next time.

Hopefully the one who restrained does not get charged with attempted murder after the subway Marine fiasco.

A father was killed and his two teenage sons were injured after a hand grenade exploded inside their northwestern Indiana home, authorities said.
The family members were going through a grandfather’s belongings Saturday evening when they found the device, Lake County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Pam Jones said in a news release.
“Someone reportedly pulled the pin on the device, and it detonated,” the release read.

Illinois man charged after shooting himself during dream about burglary
While in a stupor from the nighttime terror, Dicara "retrieved his .357 Magnum Revolver and shot at who he believed was the intruder."
"When he fired, he shot himself and apparently woke up from the dream," the sheriff's office said.
Dicara was charged with possessing a firearm with a revoked Firearm Owners Identification card, which is required in Illinois, as well as reckless discharge of a firearm, the sheriff's office said.
That's a new one. At least it wasn't another "cleaning my gun" accident.

This is a weird one for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if, assuming the story is accurate, there was an insomnia drug involved.
The $150,000 bond seems high based on the bonds I've been seeing for violent offenders recently, but that's a topic for another thread. I do wonder why the FOID was revoked though...
because he voted republican?

That was the first thing I thought about when I read how much that bond was set to. I can't recall the number of times I've seen <$50,000 bonds set for individuals who were intentionally violent towards others.
Interestingly enough someone posted on the FALFiles a couple days ago that a friend had done this same thing. Said his friend slept with a 1911 under his pillow and shot himself in the leg while in some sort of dream state. Either this is the same guy and the details are muddy or two different people shot themselves under similar circumstances within the same week.
