Woman, 89, Arrested for Keeping Football Thrown in Her Yard
BLUE ASH, Ohio — 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 said Monday she has received many calls and didn't have time to discuss the matter any more.
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.
If ooooobamalamdingdongmessiah gets elected it won't be her yard anymore. It will belong to "the people" and everyone can play there. :fuelfire: :-)

Anyone seen Cheri Oteri lately?

Hey, if it has been a continual problem of the ball landing in her yard, I don't blame her...let the kids find somewhere else to play! I harp on my kids all the time when they play outside to stay out of other peoples yards.

Easy solution.
Mr. Icepick, meet Mr. Football.
Now, here's your ball back, kids.

Arrested 89-Year-Old Cleared of Allegedly Stealing Kids' Ball Tossed on Lawn
BLUE ASH, Ohio — A prosecutor has dropped a charge of petty theft against an 89-year-old suburban Cincinnati woman accused of refusing to return a neighbor kid's football that landed in her yard.
Blue Ash Prosecutor Mark Arnzen said Wednesday that there was insufficient culpability to prosecute Edna Jester of Blue Ash, who was arrested last week.
Police say a child's father complained that Jester kept the football. Police Capt. James Schaffer says there has been an ongoing dispute in the neighborhood over kids' balls landing in the woman's yard.
Since her arrest, Jester has handled a barrage of media calls and an invitation to appear on "Dr. Phil."
Jester says she might consider that, if she's feeling up to it.

Barney Fife musta made the arrest. Looks like Andy got it all straightened out.
