COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A robber demanded his victim's wallet and car keys, then dumped him in the trunk of his car and withdrew cash with his bank card early Sunday, police said.

Martino Williamson is wishing he had taken Ira Sully's cell phone, too.

Sully called police from inside the trunk and described the car and Williamson, who was caught a short time later when an officer matched him and the car to Sully's description, police said in a report.

Police freed Sully, 59, from the trunk and charged Williamson, 20, with aggravated robbery and kidnapping.

haha ouch....shows how so many criminals are dumb (not all of course)

This is one of the biggest reasons why I like cell phones...you can carry them with ya for events where you could not contact anyone else otherwise.

Good post!

Haha, what an idiot. I love dumb criminals. Thank god for the cell phone!

Would you make a video of that and post it here for all to see. Thanks in advance.

haha that guy was dumb. everyone knows to take a persons cell phone first before putting them in the trunk.
