Dumb As A Bag of Dirt Awards: And The Winnah Is...

We here at the Reporter have decided that as a public service to our adoring fans in the law enforcement community we are going to start the Iowa Law Enforcement Reporter Phineas T. Barnum "Dumb As A Bag of Dirt" awards.

This one goes to John David Roy Atchison, an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Florida who was arrested after he flew to Detroit to, as he thought, have sex with a five year old girl.

Of course, no such thing was going to happen, it was a sting, and as usual, MySpace figured large in this as something of a happy hunting ground for wannabe pedophiles.

You can read about it here.

I rather think that MySpace, Facebook and the rest ought to be off limits unless the intent is to expose the dumbest pedophiles around.
