We really try not to give props to probably drug traffickers at The Hollywood Gossip.

It’s an unofficial company policy.

HOWEVER:

We must spend a few minutes talking about Shaun Miller.

An alleged fugitive from justice, Miller was arrested on Thursday in Massachusetts … after he tried to disguise himself as an elderly man to evade police.

The attempt was both hilarious and unsuccessful.

"Officers ordered [31-year-old Shaun] Miller out of the residence and Miller, disguised as an elderly man, walked outside.

"Upon further investigation, officers determined that the ‘elderly man’ was in fact Miller," the Barnstable Police Department announced in a press release on Friday.

You’ve gotta give Miller points for trying, right?

You then need to take away a lot of points for the crimes he supposedly committed, of course.

Numerous pictures released by the Barnstable Police Department feature Miller with and without the mask, while an additional image depicts the rubber mask after police asked Miller to take it off.

Along with the mask, the authorities reportedly came across "two loaded weapons hidden in a laundry basket and nearly $30,000 in cash," according to the release.

So Miller isn’t a good dude, it seems. That’s important to remember.

The arrest of Miller comes about four months after he was indicted for federal drug trafficking and was considered a fugitive, based on CNN reports.

He was booked on a charge of possession of heroin with intent to distribute.

The Barnstable Police Department could not be reached for comment.

Miller, meanwhile, is scheduled to appear in court on August 31 and it is not clear if he has retained an lawyer or how he has pled against his charges.

But what is clear is that we’ve never read a story quite like this before.
