Thug who starred in anti-police video nabbed thanks to the video.

I love it when stupid people outsmart themselves. Here's this Baltimore thug acting all big and bad, making videos warning people about what will happen to them if they cooperate with the police, and a woman that he beats up years later recognizes him from the video!

BALTIMORE - A man who warned city residents about ratting out drug dealers to police in a notorious street video has pleaded guilty to beating up a female employee of a menswear shop.

Rodney Thomas, 31, who was featured prominently in the "Stop Snitching" DVD under his street name, "Skinny Suge," was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with all but three years suspended, after pleading guilty Wednesday to first-degree assault, city prosecutors said.

Thomas was also given a three-year probation term and ordered to pay more than $1,400 in restitution to the victim.

According to court documents, Thomas attacked the woman after an argument last February at the USA Boutique in Mondawmin Mall, where she worked. She suffered a broken nose, a chipped tooth and facial bruises.

Prosecutor Rita Wistoff-Ito noted in court that the victim recognized Thomas from his appearance in "Stop Snitching."

The DVD created an uproar in part because of a cameo appearance by Carmelo Anthony, the Denver Nuggets basketball star and Baltimore native, who has said he wasn't aware of the video's message.

Thomas appears in the opening segments of "Stop Snitching," advising "rats" and "snitches" that he hopes they get AIDS. He also raps about his record label. The crude, homemade DVD features drug dealers who warn residents they could "get a hole in their head" for cooperating with authorities.

Thomas was also facing a robbery charge, but it was dropped as a result of the plea deal.

Way to go, Rodney Thomas. Bwahahahahaha!
