Criminal Mastermind Jailed For 176th Time
2003-09-06
A Boulder County man was back in familiar surroundings Friday — the county jail. Jeffrey Allan Pittman was behind bars after allegedly stealing a woman's bags while she was sitting on the Boulder County Courthouse lawn along the Pearl Street Mall. It is his 176th arrest, according to criminal records. The alleged crime occurred the day after Pittman was given an early release from the county jail. Pittman has a 20-year criminal history in Boulder and Longmont. His convictions range from indecent exposure and assault to theft and drunken driving.
I think all the arrests were for stupidity. Perhaps Mr. Pittman should consider another line of work? Or are we going for a record here?

#8  Rantburgers have no idea what Boulder is like. We here in Colorado don't call it The People's Republic of Bounder for nothing. It's home to Colorado's largest university (called, oddly enough, Colorado University, and has buffalos (virtually extinct except in private reserves) as its mascot). It's also home to the majority of the state's looney left, as well as scores of academia. Dianne DeGette is their hero (Pat Schroder used to be, but she finally got tired of being the Poster Child for Looniness).

If it's "victim-oriented", if it's "screw the establishment", it's Boulder.

We've offered Boulder to California, BTW, but they said one Berkley was enough.

#7  This guy is probably what keeps the DA in office.

" And I will continue to arrest Jeffrey Allan Pittman until he learns his lesson! "

Cue the applause by mindless idiots.

#6  Those crimes were the equivalent of foul balls, so he's still 0 and 2 on the count with the DA.

#5  If he's a Master Mind, how come he's been caught so many times? Seems like Perpetual Amateur is a better label.

#4  Fox should start a reality show called "Losers" and follow guys like this around. Stevey could be his sidekick.

#3  The TV show "Cops" has repeatedly lobbied to keep him on the streets including providing funds for legal assistance. The show's producers considers his freedom as vital to their ability to provide continuous programming featuring action police enforcement.

#2  He's what cops refer to as "walking job security".

#1  Guess none of his crimes were considered "major" enough to envoke Colorado's "three strikes and you're out" law that puts career criminals away for life. Personally, I think this guy is a candidate for the criminal wing of Colorado State Mental Hospital.
