Quirky News From SE Ohio


I usually read the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette (which I lovingly call the "Eagle-Mistake") online and love reading the police beat. While it has been disheartening recently with the rash of break-ins and obvious economically based crimes, it is good to know that there are still some stupid people doing stupid things that are relatively harmless. Here is a recent story from the "Police Beat":

"THORNVILLE - A Thornville woman reported someone left a hog's head on her door step Friday night, according to a report from the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office.

She arrived home about 1 a.m. and noticed the animal's head, which, upon inspection, she saw was decorated with makeup, a wig and tiara.

There are no suspects."

Now maybe this is a politically retaliatory action. Perhaps this was a comment towards Republican leanings? I am not trying to read too much into this, but I am trying to figure out how this is a crime. Sounds like a prank to me.

I particularly like the part about "no suspects." It makes it sound so official.
