Fake Firefighter With Garden Hose Arrested For Refusing To Leave Scene

A fake firefighter with a garden hose has been arrested for refusing to leave the scene of a fire. While it sounds like he could be willing to help, he was actually in the way and hindering the real firefighters from doing their jobs, per WYFF 4.

I picture him being like Dwight working as a volunteer policeman. Here's more on the story.

According to WYFF 4, when firefighters arrived on the scene, they said a neighbor was already there dressed in FDNY fire gear and was attempting to put out the fire with a garden hose. When the actual firefighters got to work, they say the neighbor refused to leave or allow them to do their responsibilities. After repeatedly telling him to stop and leave, law enforcement brought Christopher Victor Miglino into custody.

WYFF 4 reports Miglino has been charged with resisting, delaying, and obstruction public officers, impersonating a firefighter/medical personnel, and a city ordinance violation (obedience to fire personnel).

While you may think you're being helpful and assisting, it's often best to let the professionals do their jobs. You being there and in their way could prevent them from executing what they need to do and you could end up causing more harm than good. If you're there before they arrive that's one thing, but once professionals get to the scene it's best you clear out. Otherwise, you could end up like Miglino and that could be embarrassing. Especially because this happened in Morgantown, North Carolina. Those firefighters would not be wearing FDNY gear. No, that's for the Fire Department in New York. See how that works?

Check out Miglino's mugshot from Morgantown Public Safety below! I can see how he might not have been much help at the scene of a fire.

While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn't), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it's the crime itself that's wild, other times, it's the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.

Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America's Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I'm not sure if those shows are around...and I'm certain Spike TV isn't around anymore. That's a story for another time.

Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren't a matter of life or death. There's no ethics quiz here, or any matters of 'would you steal bread to support your family?' These crimes, and criminals, aren't straight up cringeworthy.

While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That's why I've gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let's be honest...what's better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I'm going with the funny storytellers.

They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but...you get it. Let's not delay! Here's the list!

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Wisconsin who was arrested after lighting his own car on fire and being found naked, covered in liquid soap near a lakae. He is supposedly a licensed psychotherapist, works with 'magic mushrooms' and is "pretty much an expert in magic."

Dave & Chuck the Freak hear about a new Amazon vendor scam involving glue guns and head-lamps, or a potential windfall if you're James.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Dearborn, Michigan who exposed himself to someone at a Burlington Coat Factory. They are very confused when they learn about their hours and huge social media following. Then, they try to figure out what they even sell there.

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Las Vegas, Nevada who stripped nude and danced on the gaming tables before he was restrained and arrested. Vegas, baby...

Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a man in Illinois who accidentally shot himself in the leg whilst dreaming of burglars breaking into his house. Living the proverbial dream isn't always what it seems...
