Man arrested for breaking into locker room, takes mugshot wearing stolen jersey

In case you didn’t notice, there are idiots among us. They exist in all walks of life. We see them every day on social media and in real life.

Joshua Hanshaw, 35, of West Virginia is among these people.

The man broke into the locker room of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Single-A team, the West Virginia Power, on Thursday morning. According to a local ABC affiliate, he was ultimately arrested and charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny.

As much as we want this to be the story, it isn’t.

Upon being taken to the police station, Hanshaw actually took his mugshot wearing one of the jerseys he was attempting to steal.

Really.

Now, that takes a ton of skill.

There’s a lot of questions to ask here. A skilled criminal might find the locker room for a Single-A affiliate a little low on the totem pole in terms of the bounty he might receive in a heist.

Obviously, Hanshaw isn’t what we would call a skilled criminal.

Secondly, how in the world did the arresting officers allow him to make it all the way to the mugshot while wearing a stolen jersey? The job was to stop a theft, not drive the suspect out of the scene of the crime with one of the items he was attempting to steal.

Good old West Virginia.
