Corey Powell, 29, was a denizen of Oakland, CA. He is also a stupid, clumsy bastard.
Powell was out on parole and ducking an outstanding warrant back on September 1, 2015, while he was grabbing a smoke on the platform of a BART station. Bad idea doing blatant illegal stuff if you are trying to hide from the cops.
Two cops jacked him about the smoking. He gave them a fake name, then told cops he will kill himself if they attempted to take him into custody. Real smart move there. A scuffle ensured and Powell shot himself with the handgun he was carrying illegally in the waistband of his pants.
Powell has just been sentenced to eight years as a guest of the state for three felonies and two misdemeanors. Maybe during that time he can find a hamster and get the state to pay for a brain transplant between him and the cute little creature. It would probably boost his I.Q. by about 50%. Probably won't make him any more lovable, but sometimes that's life in the fast lane.
