Our great country has seen its fair share of odd criminal cases. Here are some of the more peculiar or funny ones. • Violators of a noise ordinance in Fort Lupton, Colorado, were sentenced to face the music by being made to listen to loud music by artists such as Barry Manilow and Dolly Parton. • In Niagara Falls, New York, a judge was so enraged by a cell phone going off during court that, when no one owned up to the phone, he threw the entire courtroom in jail. • In Delray Beach, Florida, a man was arrested after a dispute with his wife, who refused to give him his “lucky” boxer shorts. • In Cochocton, Ohio, a judge gave two young offenders an option in punishment for throwing beer bottles at ladies: 60 days in jail or one hour walking through downtown dressed as women. They chose the latter. • When two men in Painesville, Ohio, were charged for shooting up a neighbor’s house with paintball guns, the judge ordered them to continue their target practice — on their own cars. turn the page for more!
