"Police take Joel Donaldson into custody.
He committed the ultimate crime — of fashion.
A Brooklyn cellphone crook’s poor wardrobe choices led to his arrest when his saggy jeans tripped him up during his getaway attempt and allowed cops to chase him down, police said.
Joel Donaldson, 21, allegedly punched his victim in the face before snatching her phone at around 2:30 p.m. at Court and Remsen streets, just steps from Borough Hall. He then tried to get away on foot, but didn’t get far.
His droopy blue jeans — which left his boxer shorts exposed — kept slipping down as he ran."...
I saw a crime story where the bad guy abandoned his pants to get away. Too bad his cell phone was in the pocket so the police easily found the boxer shorted perp.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
