World's Worst Burglars Going To Jail For 180 Days A recent YouTube video highlights the astonishingly reckless behavior of three young Floridians who documented their own burglary attempt, leading to their arrest and subsequent jail time. In a bizarre twist of fate, Joshua VanSlyke, 18, Anthony VanSlyke, 21, and 18-year-old Gregory Williams filmed themselves discussing breaking into a friend's home, expressing hope that no alarm system was present, and audaciously declaring, “Fuck the police” while sirens could be heard in the background .
The Incident
The trio was apprehended after they used a camera belonging to the VanSlyke brothers' mother to record their plans moments before they attempted to steal marijuana plants from a Bradenton residence. Their casual approach to committing a felony – all captured on video – resulted in each receiving a 180-day sentence in county jail for felony burglary after pleading no contest .
Prosecutor's Offer
Initially, they were offered a more severe plea deal that included a prison sentence of up to 21 months, followed by probation. However, the case ultimately resulted in a significantly lighter sentence of just six months in jail . This case serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of such brazen criminal behavior, especially when documented on video. It raises important discussions about the lengths to which individuals will go for a thrill, and the ease with which they can be caught due to their own misguided decisions. What do you think about this case? Have you heard of similar ridiculous crimes caught on camera? Feel free to share your thoughts!
