Neighbor captures freaky, incompetent burglar wearing eye makeup

Darrell Watkins of Lorain, OH is an odd little duck who could use a haircut, some make-up remover, and an alibi:

A neighbor apprehended an 18-year-old man at gunpoint Sunday after police say he attempted to burglarize a Sherwood Drive home.

At 10:09 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2000 block of Sherwood while investigating an earlier burglary complaint on Ivanhoe Drive 13 minutes earlier, according to Officer Cielo Rodriguez’s report.

Curtis Stanford, 48, told officers he heard a loud noise come from his neighbor’s home while he was in his bedroom. He said he looked out of the window and saw alleged burglar Darrel Watkins running from the backyard in between his residence and the neighbor’s, Rodriguez wrote.

Stanford stated he then grabbed his gun and a flashlight and met Watkins outside where he ordered him to the ground.

Watkins was detained by the neighbor until officers arrived.

Watkins tried to smash his way into the second home using a large rock. What he intended to do with the rock (if anything) if he had managed to gain interest is anyone’s guess. He was charged for both attempted crimes.

The silver eye shadow sort of freaks me out. Is this a “thing” now among youths in this area, or does he simply want to be the prettiest boy in jail?

On second thought, I don’t want to know.
