Would-be burglar calls 911 on herself
NORTH BEND, Ore. -- A 45-year-old woman called 911 on herself after an early morning break-in ended up with her being locked inside a store, North Bend police say.
Police say that the dispatch center got a 911 call just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday from a woman who said that she was locked in the Dollar Tree Store at the Pony Village Mall.
When officers arrived, they say they found Darlene Huntley, 45, of North Bend locked inside the store.
After an investigation, officers say they arrested Huntley and charged her with second-degree burglary and second-degree criminal trespass, among other charges.
Police say she is banned from the Pony Village Mall for the rest of her life.
Huntley was taken to the Coos County Jail.
Here's your sign.
This woman has risen to the level of her incompetence.  The ONLY time I shop in the dollar store is when I need something disposable, like plastic table table cloths to sit food on for a picnic. Throw away platters and bowls to sit on the plastic table cloths, and if there are to be children at the party I fill a cart with toys to occupy them for a few hours. When the party is over all it takes is a big broom and a trash can and the clean up is done...

I find it sad that this woman couldn't think of a store that might have better quality merchandise to steal, not that I approve of stealing; but to go to jail for stealing merchandise that most people consider of little to no value is absurd. Â
she could have gotten a role in Hansel and Gretel

The dollar store? Really? If you are going to make an effort to break into a store, at least go into one that has merchandise that is worth something. LMAO!!! I shouldn't be too surprised though.... she does look a couple tacos short of a combo plate....
How do you break in and not be able to get out?
Thank you so much KOMO for this new story! I have not laughed that hard in a long time! Just curious, was the liquor store located near the dollar store? Looks like she might have stopped to have a couple and thought that robbing the dollar store sounded like a good idea. Thank god for stupid criminals! God thats so freakin funny.......
45? Yikes!!!
 @Half-Baked RIGHT!!?? ;P
I think she would smile but she probably doesn't have any teeth either. She was definately run hard and put away wet.
 @mstipton "She was definately run hard and put away wet."
I barfed a little in my mouth.
What a face! 45 going on 100. wait thats insult to people 100. 45 going on meth there thats it.
"Yeah, kids, go ahead and do the hard drugs. All the cool kids are doin' 'em!"

 @Getov Mylon Nice disclaimer! LOL
I think it's quite sad that a person call fall this low, I can only imagine what happened in her life to sent her down such a path. Â To me the tragedy is the heartless people below this message that could only make snide degrading comments about her. Â Â
 @K. Coleman hey, she chose this path
sexy is as sexy does.
Just to keep pace with the common logic these days, shouldn't they have banned Dollar Tree Stores instead of this criminal??? And what a hottie!!
Epic meth face.
 @belsnickles I agree, classic meth damage.
 @Thunder It's really the only thing that can reliably make a 45-year-old woman look like a caved-in, toothless 65-year-old.
I never would have guessed by the picture that she was only 45. Rode hard and put away wet comes to mind.
Omg. Her face tells the whole story. So sad. If you're gonna risk a B&E at least go for a store with items worth more than $1 each.
Here's your sign.
She must have seen her reflection in the glass and thought she was about to be mugged by a troll.
 @Harley-H.S.C. LOL! From her looks, looking like a druggie, that probably ain't much of a stretch!
