A Competitor for the "Gruber" Prize

In the latest edition of my compendium of stupid criminals we find Daniel Rahynes.  Mr. Rahynes' stupidity may exceed that of Kieth Gruber (see the post immediately below).

This story comes from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  Rahynes, 35, walked into a bank in central Pennsylvania and tried to open an account.  The bank employee waiting on him informed Rahynes he would need to produce two forms of identification to open the account which Rahynes provided.  After giving the employee the two forms of identification (one of them being an account card issued by that very bank), Rahynes changed his mind and declared he was really there to rob the bank. 

Police say Rahynes drove off with a small amount of cash, striking another vehicle in the process.  Meanwhile, the bank contacted police and provided police with the detailed information Rahynes provided to the bank identifying him.  Police immediately issued an alert to arrest Rayynes.  Police in a neighboring county took Rahynes into custody at the scene of a second auto accident Rahynes became involved in when they learned of the all points bulletin issued for Rahynes earlier.

As you might guess, Rahynes was intoxicated.
