The Knucklehead of the Day award (Wizbang)

Today's winner is Jerome Haggins. He gets the award for the following-

A Tampa man suspected of armed robbery apparently forgot that the key to a successful armed robbery is hanging on to the gun.
Police say 42-year-old Jerome Haggins, armed with a pistol, entered a Tampa home Saturday night, ordered six men to the ground and demanded they give up their wallets and jewelry. He then forced them to take off their clothes and noticed that one of the men had not given up his bracelet.

Police say Haggins put his pistol on a table, walked over to the man and snatched the bracelet. But while Haggins was taking the bracelet, police say another victim grabbed the gun and pointed it at Haggins. The would-be victims held Haggins until police arrived.

LOL. Jerome Haggins is a classic dumb criminal Knucklehead of the Day.
