Robbery suspect shoots partner's foot on heist

Spencer and Vlatch also known as Dumb and dumber. 

As a partner in crime this is definitely not the guy you want. 

Erick Vlatch is now in custody on suspicion of committing a home invasion robbery after he was shot in the foot by his pal Jeremy Spencer. 

Cops told The Santa Cruz Sentinel that "when they don't have their story straight, they make something up on the spot," adding that is "not very hard for us to unravel." 

The pair were already tied to a robbery in the same area and the same time that Vlatch told deputies he'd been shot. 

So they booked the 24-year-old and his 19-year-old pal on numerous felonies.
