If you’re making a call from jail after an attempted bank robbery, you’re probably not the criminal mastermind you imagined yourself to be. I’m sure the go in the bank, rob the bank, leave the bank, plan looked great on napkin, but things like cops and a foot chase can turn Lex Luthor into O.J. Simpson.

Meet Trammell Bledsoe. He and two other men tried to rob the Lafayette Ambassador Bank in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. After being arrested, Bledsoe placed a few calls to a buddy.. Knowing his calls could be monitored, he tried to slangbang on the phone.

Prosecutors listened to the calls, which were recorded, and heard Bledsoe telling Burton to go to a certain location and look for the ”Reggie Bush.”

Bush, a member of the New Orleans Saints, wears No. 25, which prosecutors say was an ”obvious reference” to the .25-caliber gun Bledsoe allegedly used in the robbery.

Bledsoe was later heard telling Burton to look for the ”Reggie Bush” under cars parked between ”Reggie Miller” and ”Patrick Ewing.”

Miller wore No. 31 and Ewing No. 33, and prosecutors say they were code for the site where Bledsoe was arrested near 31st and 33rd streets in Emmaus.

Bledsoe and his homey also used Chris Webber to refer to $4000 and Michael Jordan to refer to a .45. Did these guys really think this was gonna work? The cops were gonna be baffled by “the Reggie Bush”? Damn. I can’t believe they could pull of the actual robbery attempt with this simple minded thinking.
