This is not Edna Jester Just a funny Pic

I can remember when I was a child and would be out playing ball and the ball would go in the neighbors yard.  Sometimes they would go off saying not to play on their grass.  When I saw this story I knew I had to tell yall about it. An 89-year-old Ohio woman faces a charge of petty theft because neighborhood children say she refused to give back their football. Edna Jester was placed under arrest last week and taken to the police station in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash.

Police say there had been an ongoing dispute over the errant football and a child’s father called to report that Jester kept the ball after it landed in her yard. Blue Ash Police Capt. James Schaffer says police warned Jester twice and finally had to take action. She said she told these kids not to be playing in her yard but “they dont want to listen so I had to show their ass… ”

“I’m 89 years old and I want a little piece of mind,” Jester said. “This is my life here in this chair, looking out that door, and all I see is playing the ball down and all over and all over. If it doesn’t come in my yard, OK, but if it comes in my yard, I’m going to get it. No trespassing.”

Blue Ash Police Capt. James Schaffer said Monday that police warned Jester twice and finally arrested her after she refused to accept a citation.

“She chose to take a stand,” Schaffer said, saying she told police to handcuff her, but they wouldn’t do that.

He said Jester wasn’t a troublemaker, but that police had been to the neighborhood several times to try to mediate similar disputes.

“The actual rule is if you take the property of another and convert it to your own use, it’s theft,” Schaffer said. “She was told by the police two times, give the ball back or you face criminal charges, and she refused to do so.”

Jester must appear in mayor’s court next month.

“I’m not giving the ball up, no,” Jester said. “That’s the only protection I have. They know if it comes in my yard I’ll get it, and that keeps them off of me a little.”

The football, valued at $15, is being held for evidence, Schaffer said.

The potential maximum penalty for a petty theft conviction in Ohio is six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Schaffer said he suspects the mayor or presiding magistrate will take into account her age and lack of criminal record when the case comes up.

“We don’t like arresting 89-year-old women,” Schaffer said. “We don’t like going into neighborhood disputes like this, and taking them to the extreme, but some times you’re backed into a corner.”

Ladies, if you’re planning go to the club, please remember there is some s#!t you should wear, and some items you should save for when dollars are being thrown. Unfortunately, my granny came across a picture on my computer of this girl dressed to kill any one over the age of 70. Clearly, grandma was not expecting to see that! Watch how this self proclaimed woman of dignity reacts to today’s “fashion.”  If you need a good laugh please watch the video and tell friends…..

Please tell me what you think 

A Elderly women decided to go to jail rather than pay her bill at a Fort Pierce Waffle House restaurant. The total she went to jail over: $7.45. According to a police report, Maryanne O’Neill, 66, ordered coffee and a sandwich at a Waffle House restaurant on Saturday but refused to pay the bill. The report said an officer asked her to pay or go to jail and she refused. A jail official said she was released Monday from the St. Lucie County Jail. She was charged with obtaining food or lodging with intent to defraud, a second degree misdemeanor. If convicted of a second degree misdemeanor she could face up to 60 days in jail and a fine of $500. Damn, so no one in Waffle House offered to help Grams out?

I know times are hard for us all but what if that was your grandma or great aunt or something? Jeez, folks no compassion these days.
