The Smoking Gun reports that this Ohio man…

…was arrested for “operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, criminal damage, and resisting arrest”.

The “vehicle” he was driving was a bulldozer. He was tearing up a neighbor’s yard.

How do you pull over a bulldozer?

I wonder if he got that knot on the side of his head from the “resisting arrest” part or from falling off of the dozer.

Jayne sent me this USA Today link about an incident in Ohio…

Police in Ohio say a woman has been charged with child endangering after another motorist reported she was both breast-feeding a youngster and talking on a phone while driving.

Let’s break this down….

Talking on the cell phone while driving=Bad Idea; although most of us do it. Every time I head down the road, I see people here and there, that have pulled over to use the phone.

Breast feeding a child while driving=Way worse idea.

Talking on the cell phone whle driving and breast feeding a child=Yob.

Police in the Dayton suburb of Kettering say the caller told them he saw the woman Thursday.

Officer Michael Burke says authorities used a license plate number to track down 39-year-old Genine Compton.

He said the woman told officers she was breast-feeding and wouldn’t let her child go hungry.

39-years-old!

But, I guess that matronly instinct just kicked in, all of a sudden like. Wasn’t going to let her child go hungry.

What about the phone then!

Pull over ya’ Yob!

From Breitbart/AP comes news of an 89-year-old woman who is facing charges because of some meddling kids.

Police in Ohio say an 89-year-old woman is facing a charge of petty theft because neighborhood children accuse her of refusing to give back their football.
Edna Jester was arrested last week in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash.

Police say one child’s father complained that Jester kept the youngsters’ ball after it landed in her yard. Police Capt. James Schaffer says there has been an ongoing dispute in the neighborhood over kids’ balls landing in the woman’s yard….

… Jester is to appear in court next month. The maximum penalty for a petty theft conviction in Ohio is six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Kids these days eh? When I was a little shaver, and believe you me I had a lot of experience with this sort of thing, there was a clear protocol. If you were the one responsible for the ball ending up in the evil neighbor’s yard, it was your responsibility to stealthily hop the fence and retrieve the ball. If the evil neighbor caught you in the act accosted you, tied your hands, took you to the dungeon and fed you to the captive crocodiles, so be it. You had to take that chance.

No calling the police, no accusations of theft. Hey, who screwed up here, the kids or the 89-year-old woman?
