Woman’s “Jerk” Text to Ex-Boyfriend Lands Her Behind Bars
A Pennsylvania’s woman’s one-word text — “jerk” — to her ex-boyfriend has landed her in jail. MCall.com reports that Kimberly Bush was first arrested after she entered ex-boyfriend David Gosnell’s home without his permission to get a DVD. She was charged with trespassing and criminal mischief, was released on $2,500 bail and — here’s the key — was told not to have any contact with her ex. A few days later, Gosnell received the “jerk” text in the early morning hours and contacted authorities. When questioned, Bush said that she had taken four pills to treat anxiety, followed by three drinks at a local bar just before Gosnell received the text, which she didn’t remember sending. Didn’t matter — she was arraigned on new charges of harassment by communication and disorderly conduct.

MISSOURI TOWN OUTLAWS SAGGY PANTS:
A new ordinance passed on Monday (July 11th) in Collinsville, Missouri has banned residents from wearing pants below the waistline. First-time offenders will be fined $100 and have to perform community service. Repeat offenses come with a heftier fine of $300 in addition to community service. Mayor John Miller says he doesn’t agree with the ordinance, explaining, “It’s obstructing the nature of what this country was founded upon. I’m sorry this passed.” The councilwoman who introduced the measure, Liz Dalton, said, “Residents are getting tired of seeing people’s underpants as they walk down the street. When I start hearing repeat requests as an elected official, I have to listen.” (Huffington Post)
