Really Stupid or Really Gutsy??

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A Daytona Beach man has been sentenced to 60 days in prison for stealing a judge's wallet and going on a shopping spree.

Shawn Mayo, 20, pleaded no contest to a charge of grand theft for the February incident.

Police said Mayo and his girlfriend, Kisha Smith, spent more than $1,000 at Wal-Mart stores on Circuit Judge John Watson's credit card.

The suspect was caught after he put his own signature on the credit-card receipt instead of attempting to sign Watson's name. Police said the wallet was snatched from Watson's chamber.

Investigators said Smith was a cleaning woman at the courthouse at the time of the theft.
