Dumb Criminals: Man Arrested For Being Drunk In Public Mistook Cell Phone For $20 Bill

Heavy drinking can have a lot of unwanted side effects: the spins, vomiting, a nasty hangover the next day. But unfortunately, no amount of alcohol will turn paper into a telephone: a lesson one guy learned the hard way.

Iowa City Police arrested Deaaron M. Hearn after he allegedly drunkenly tried to use a $20 bill to make a phone call. The cops claim they found him on a park bench at 2:30 a.m. And we all know nothing good happens in a park at 2:30 a.m.

“Police say officers then offered Hearn the chance to call his friends from his cell phone and instead of grabbing his phone, Hearn placed a $20 bill to his ear and used it as a cell phone,” reports the Iowa City Press Citizen.

Even after 10 shots of tequila, I wasn't THAT bad off.

Well, maybe I was able to hold my liquor better than this idiot.
