Bob Walsh says that if you are going to do a crime, it pays not to fall asleep on the job. “It seems that these two bozos were maybe going to stick up a Mickey D’s [McDonald’s] in the crime-ridden cesspool of Stockton yesterday. Maybe they had something else in mind. It doesn’t really matter because they both fell asleep in their car in the drive-through lane,” Bob said. “No matter what your job (except maybe mattress tester) it pays to stay awake at work. Or at least keep your windows locked in a high crime area.”
POLICE ARREST ARMED SLEEPERS IN DRIVE-THROUGH
The Stockton Record
March 25, 2012
STOCKTON — Two men were arrested when they fell asleep while sitting on handguns in a McDonald’s drive-through early Friday morning.
Paramedics and firefighters responded to the 600 block of West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after receiving reports of two men asleep in a car shortly before 2 a.m. When they arrived, crews tapped on the car’s windows before opening the door and removing the passenger, according to the Stockton Police Department.
As emergency workers pulled the man out, they realized a handgun was underneath him, police said. The driver was also pulled out of the car, and, like his passenger, was found to be on top of a handgun, officials said.
No narcotics were found in the car and the driver was not charged with drunken driving, police said.
Arrested were Esteban Monroy, 22, and Santiago Requepo, 25, both on suspicion of weapons possession and gang enhancements, police said.
