In 2009 retired NYPD officer John Comparetto stepped out of a restroom stall at a Holiday Inn in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to find a man pointing a gun at him. "Give me your wallet and your cell phone!" said the thief. The ex-cop complied and the man ran away. Then Comparetto yelled, "Need some help!" The help came from the 300 other cops who were attending a police convention at the hotel (several signs read "Welcome Police Officers"). The cops easily apprehended the robber, 19-year-old Jerome Marquis Blanchett. Said Comparetto, "He's probably the dumbest criminal in Pennsylvania."
