A Tale of Two Tapes; and Two Money Grabbing NitWits

4/20/07 -- Cleveland County, OK - Seems two men recently realized the value (or pitfall, depending on your perspective) of the unblinking security camera.

On April 3rd, Jason Michael Fernandez decided to pick up a little something at the local Jerry's Foods on Telephone Rd. in Moore. The problem? Fernandez allegedly "picked up" $833 in cash that was sitting on the counter. Who knew Jerry's Foods was giving away cash ~ Oh, wait, they're not.

According to police (and the trusty security camera videotape), Fernandez walked into the store, saw the cash sitting near the register, grabbed it, and ran home.

When Fernandez was questioned by police he allegedly admitted to the crime, stating that he took the store's hard earned cash so that he could, "pay bills."

Here's a tip Fernandez - GET A JOB!

Fernandez is now charged with felony grand larceny.

Our next security camera video star is Jason Hedrick, 29.

Seems Hedrick allegedly dropped into Dales BBQ on South Western in February for a little midnight takeout.

What Hedrick "took out" was $700 in a locked cash box.

As luck would have it, Dales BBQ has a security camera that runs 24-hours a day. A fact you would have thought Hedrick would have known, especially since Hedrick is described as a former employee.

Last week Hedrick was formerly charged with felony burglary.
