Least Competent Cops: Four New York City police were called to an apartment house in July in the Bronx concerning a landlord-tenant dispute, but were distracted by a teenager in the hallway smoking marijuana and started to chase him, when a pit bull attacked the officers.

Least Competent Bail Bondsman: That would be the unidentified bondsman who bailed out identity-thief suspect Thomas Samuel in Santa Cruz, Calif., last year on Samuel's bogus check for $9,800 (after rejecting as bogus an earlier Samuel check for $3,200). Least Competent Lawyer: Ms. Knovack Jones pleaded guilty in Miami in July to ripping off a client for $300,000, though admitting that she lost most of that money in a Nigerian e-mail scam. (Said Jones, "He had a contract with the government (for) $38.6 million, and he needed my (help).") [KSBW-TV (Salinas, Calif.)-AP, 6-6-06] [WTVJ-TV (Miami), 7-17-06]
