Looks like at least 9 yrs
O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to at least 15 years in prison for his role in an armed confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel in 2007.

He must serve at least nine years before he can be considered for parole.

The 61-year-old Hall of Famer listened stone-faced, his wrists in shackles, as Judge Jackie Glass pronounced the sentence -- a maximum 33 years behind bars with eligibility for parole after less than a third of that.

Moments before the sentence, which could likely translate to a maximum of 19 years served in prison,

Cheeky Vandal is Sentenced


http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2 ... d=10508808
The “Butt-Cheek Bandit’’ who defaced windows in Valentine with greasy imprints of his nether parts has been given a 13 1/2-month sentence.

Cherry County Attorney Eric Scott says 35-year-old Thomas Larvie was convicted of eight misdemeanor counts of public indecency and one of disturbing the peace.

Larvie left imprints of his naked behind, and sometimes his groin, on the windows of stores, churches and schools in Valentine since the spring of 2007.
Anyone else think 13 1/2 months is a little extreme for something as dumb as this?

Holy smokes... yea, that's excessive.  I'l buy the one count of indecency where they caught him in the act, and any other where they have him on surveillance cameras, and MAYBE even the disturbing the peace charge.

Add them all up and you should be talking about a few hundred dollars fine and/or some community service picking up garbage/cleaning graffiti.

However, I certainly know that I will think twice before I smear my lotion covered genitalia on store windows in the panhandle.

They should make him wash every window in town this winter when its 10 below out.  That would teach him too.  I think you get less time in Omaha for shooting someone.

Re: Butt cheek bandit.


What's this world coming to?  Doesn't this guy know that the proper ointment for leaving impressions is peanut butter, not vaseline.

On the news, they said that 2 brothers got in a fight over a mutual girlfriend last night.  In an attempt to live up to buck cherry's "Crazy |expletive|," she jumped in the car and stabbed one of them in the chest.

Good for the upcoming concert.

Some naked guy, Michael Dick (real name), went into an 88 year old woman's house and started rubbing himself up against her. The lady said he forced her onto a chair and then she "reached around on him" (real quote) and yanked his balls.

Only strange to me... because I asked my wife what type of restaurant would also sell jewelry (Midwest Grill and Jewelry).  Perhaps concerning me more was my wife knowing what 'grillz' were (yeah, I'm sure I'm the last one to know this on this forum as well).

"I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath", very fitting for our current temperature.

translated - grill (grillz) is jewelery, jewelery is aka ice, ice is cold.

Nigerian Goat Held By Police, Accused of Armed Car Jacking
It was a shocking sight yesterday as men of the Kwara State Police Command paraded a goat as an armed robbery suspect.

The goat "suspect" is being detained over an alleged attempt to snatch a Mazda car. The mysterious goat, according to the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Tunde Mohammed, while briefing bewildered journalists at the Force headquarters, is an armed robber who attempted to snatch the said car, Wednesday night, and later transformed into the goat in a bid to escape arrest.

He explained that men of a vigilance group in Anifowose Ipata/Oloje areas of the state capital had chased two armed robbery suspects who wanted to demobilise the Mazda car with the intention of stealing it, and

"while one of them escaped, the other was about to be apprehended by the team when he turned his back on the wall and turned to this goat. They quickly grabbed the goat and here it is.’’ Mohammed said.

The police spokesman said the goat "armed robbery suspect" will not be left off the hook until investigations into the case are concluded.

He also said that no fewer than five stolen vehicles have been recovered by the state Police Command while some suspects were also arrested. Among those arrested, he said was one Idowu Oni of Araromi area of Akure who escaped from Akure Prison.

He added that the escaped convict was arrested in Ilorin after stealing a Mazda 323 car belonging to Mrs. Henrietta Ayijesu.

He also said another armed robbery and rape suspect was in their custody, assuring that the suspects will soon appear in court.

Mother Arrested for Buying Kegs for Daughter
KOLN wrote:Lincoln police have arrested a mother for 22 counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after she bought two kegs of beer for her underage daughter and her friends. When officers arrived at 1:30 in the morning, Flood said they found 22 minors ranging in age from 15 to 20 years old and two kegs of beer purchased by Beckner. Flood said all 22 minors received citations for MIP and inmates of a disorderly house. Flood said there was so much alcohol in the home that the breathalyzers used by officers recorded a .03 just from the air.
