DOH! Stupid criminal in Bellingham

From the Bellingham Herald:
Bellingham coffee stand robbery suspect in custody
Police arrested one of two suspects in the armed robbery of a Cruisin Coffee stand on Cordata Parkway after he turned himself in late Thursday night, March 25.

Joshua A. Veliz. 24, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and third-degree theft. A second suspect has not been identified.

Police sought Veliz after they found a wallet outside the coffee stand's drive-up window with identification that matched the physical description of Veliz, said Mark Young, Bellingham Police Department spokesman.

According to police, Veliz and another man, wearing bandanas and armed with knives, allegedly jumped through a drive-up window at the stand shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday and demanded money, Young said.

The men took an undisclosed amount of cash and ran off. No one was injured. A police dog was being used to track the robbers' path, Young said.

After the men fled, an employee discovered the wallet outside the side door, Young said.
