Today in dumb criminals: Moline's Jason Slagel, who took five hostages in a motel Iowa...and then sent two on a beer run. Slagel apparently got in an argument in a Fort Madison motel room and pulled a knife. "Police say Slagel eventually got thirsty and sent two hostages out for beer," and they called the police.

It's awesome that this story is right above the Beer of the Week.
