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. (source)

What kind of crap is that? The dad snitched on her? Who was the dad? Terrance Howard? This is lame. Criminals are looting and killing, and ACORN tryna f*ck up Obama, but no....the good ol boys in Ohio have nothing better to do then to arrest an 89 year old woman, because of a damn ball. The ball was in her property...what's the problem? She warned them several times. News like this pisses me off. Instead of buying another damn ball for $3, they gonna spend hundreds in court fees after the elderly woman's kinfolk come thru and sue. SMDH.
