Homeowners who don’t mow their grass in the northeast Ohio city of Canton now face stiffer penalties — including possible jail time.
The city council unanimously passed a law Monday that makes a second high-grass violation a fourth-degree misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $250 and as many as 30 days in jail.
The previous law only made the first violation a minor misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $150 but no jail time. The new law is to take effect in 30 days.
“This is the type of action we need to take in order to clean up our neighborhoods and our city,” Mayor William J. Healy II said.
The laws are an effort to reduce the roughly $250,000 the city spends to cut about 2,000 private lots each year and to address public complaints, Councilman Greg Hawk has said.
A drunk man who was running naked into highway traffic and subsequently caused three accidents has been arrested.
Two people stopped their cars and tried to help the 26 year old, Ardonas Gilbert of Chester P.A., who had been running naked along the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 this past Monday night. However Ardonas refused their help and allegedly cursed at them and tried to punch them says a Delaware State Police officer.
After hitting the people trying to help him, Gilbert then ran out into traffic and caused three separate accidents as motorists tried to avoid hitting the man. Luckily no one was seriously injured.
Gilbert was charged with two counts of assault and a single count of being drunk on a highway. What? No indecent exposure?
Mondays are either boring, or stressful and no one ever seems to be ready to come back to work, so I thought I’d send you off with a Blast.
I wouldn’t doubt that this guys water skiing idea worked. What do you think?
Have a great Monday! Don’t worry, if you’re lucky this week won’t be a long work week and then you’ll have a few extra days off, hopefully, for the holidays. Enjoy!
Actually, come to think of it this is the last working Monday of the year for a lot of people. Now if that thought doesn’t help you get through the day nothing will.
