The Co-Knucklehead of the Day Part One

I had two good candidates for today's award. So I asked the wife which should win and she said both.

Our first Knucklehead winner is Roy Diaz. With his house on fire, Mr. Diaz called the police.

A man who reported a fire at his Miami-Dade home was arrested Monday when emergency officials discovered a marijuana hydroponics lab, authorities said.

Roy Diaz, 31, reported the fire about 6:45 a.m. in the house he shared with his wife and child in the 26000 block of Southwest 192nd Avenue, said Detective Nelda Fonticiella, spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Firefighters quickly put out the flames and discovered 53 mature marijuana plants worth about $400,000.

Diaz was treated for smoke inhalation and then arrested on charges of trafficking in marijuana, grand theft of electrical power and child endangerment.

Such an excellent role model of a parent. NOT! From the story it appears Mr. Diaz was stealing from FPL besides being in the marijuana business. Roy Diaz is our first knucklehead of the day.
