How Did Officers Instantly Know This Drunk Driver Had A Fake I.D.?
There are many ways to spot a fake I.D. It could be made from a different material, it could shine differently in the light, or there could be a blatant false fact on the fake I.D. Well, that’s what happened to one guy in Iowa.
If you’re going to use a fake I.D. it’s probably best to use one that fits your description. That means you don’t want yours to say you stand 8 feet tall. That’s pretty obvious to prove wrong and will instantly point your I.D. out as a fake. Here’s more on this trending story.
Fake I.D. Said Man Was 8 Feet Tall
I feel like it would be pretty noticeable to any officer if they had just pulled over what would be one of the tallest people on earth. That’s easy to verify with the naked eye and you don’t want to be in that situation. Unfortunately, that’s what Joel Solorzano Villeda’s fake I.D. read, according to The Smoking Gun.
A criminal complaint says that Villeda was pulled over for driving erratically on an Iowa road in Rock Rapids and then provided officers with an I.D. that stated he stood 8 feet tall. Clearly, that was not the case.
During the stop, Villeda showed several signs of being intoxicated, had an open can of beer in his vehicle, and possessed methamphetamine, per The Smoking Gun. His breath test revealed his B.A.C. was over the legal limit. That’s when he reportedly handed over his Minnesota I.D. claiming he was 8 feet tall. It’s hard to pass for 8 feet when you only stand 5’8″, per The Smoking Gun.
Villeda was arrested on several charges including narcotics possession, operating a vehicle while intoxicated, and providing officers with false identification. He has a hearing later in May. You can check out his mugshot below.
5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
