ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Police say an Albuquerque man took a gamble on a $250,000 heist but lost after forgetting his straight flush.
KOAT-TV reports Ramon Herrera appeared in court this week after investigators tied him a September burglary using DNA left on a toilet. Police say the 33-year-old took $250,000 worth of jewelry but used the toilet and didn't flush.
Police say he also took a can of Coke from the fridge, drank it and left it along with his DNA.
Investigators say DNA from the can and toilet was matched to Herrera, who recently was arrested and booked into the Bernalillo County jail.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges of residential burglary and larceny over $20,000.
It was not known if he had an attorney.
