J: Welcome to our annual rewind of
amazing crime news. This year we have
had some incredible incidents and
accidents.
Let's start with the case of the guy who
dressed like the Joker, and was arrested
using a mask. His name is Jeremy Putman.
The 31 year old man dressed up like The
Joker and walked around the streets of a
small town near Washington, D.C.
According to the police, the inhabitants of
this town had felt threatened because he
carried a sword.

Second on the list is Sean A Sykes, Jr. A

24-year-old man who was caught with
guns and drugs in his car. The police took
him to the station to interrogate him. He
was released.. Sykes didn't get charged,
but he was found again with drugs and
weapons in his car some time later.
Unfortunately, he could not escape this
time.

Third on our list is the case of a joke

murder that was everything but a joke.
Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North
Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, was at the
airport in Kuala Lum pur when a woman
confronted him and apparently sprayed
him with something. He asked for help
from the security staff but died on his way
to the hospital. The woman who did it said
that she thought it was a comedy show.
According to this woman, a comedy show
had paid her to spray some people... What
a complicated case!

Next comes the case of Arielle Bonnici.

Back in May, the police had caught her
with marijuana. This 26 year-old lady had
a trial a few months later. Apparently, she
found the situation boring. The day of her
trial, she was seen talking on the phone
while driving and once the police
approached her, they noticed she had
smoked the drug. Bad idea.
