The story of an Indiana man, however, takes the cake. The plight of 42-year-old Randy Zuick comes in as perhaps our top vote for Dumbest Criminal of the Month, and it also gets our top vote for the Strangest Pokémon Go Story we’ve heard following the mobile app’s debut last week.

Zuick is a registered child sex offender. In April he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of fondling a child under 14 and was placed on sex-offender probation for four years. The terms included him not interacting with children, local media reported.
