In the city of St. Louis, there have been 27 homicides so far this year and the month of March was no stranger to gun violence.
But in the metro area, in addition to a string of violent crimes, there have also been some notably bizarre criminal acts -- the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up kind of news reports, everything from a really hungry ice cream thief to a fake penis user.
Check out our round-up below of the top worst crimes in St. Louis over the last thirty days.
St. Charles resident Andrew Steven Jung, 24, did not hurt anybody, but still got quite a lot of attention for his alleged crime -- in part because he told cops he was an "ice cream junkie."
Even if his crime wasn't all that violent, we couldn't ignore Jung in our March round-up. Police say he broke into a church, stole some ice cream and was found wandering a few blocks away.
Covered in ice cream.
