A Western Michigan University student may want to get a new hobby -- a legal one.

William K. Bradley has been sentenced to six months in jail for stealing a computer at the Kalamazoo County jail, where he was already serving time for a different case.

The Kalamazoo Gazette quotes a judge as telling the Michigan resident that stealing from a jail was "the dumbest crime" he'd heard that day.

He said it might even be in the top half-dozen he'd heard in his career.

Bradley has racked up six felonies and four misdemeanors by the age of 25.

He agreed with the judge, saying he's "not the best criminal."
