One Stray Pea

“It’s 2008, I can assume she didn’t flee on horseback”. Yeah, see blog posting below. Well guess what, Christopher Crosby, the 25 year old fugitive in Clermont County, IS fleeing on horseback. Apparently he’s believed to be on his third stolen horse at this point, yet our little rhinestone cowboy has yet to get out of Clermont County. He’s believed to be just living in the woods. Sounds like it’s time for residents to stock up on carrots and sugar cubes..then get their pitchforks ready.

In WHY NOT MEEEEE! news, one of the four Butler County inmates who tried to escape from jail last month tried to escape again today. Ok, so the first guy flicks off news cameras, the second guy spits and curses at the judge while his Hamil-tucky family goes crazy in the courtroom, then this guy takes off running through the courthouse and gets tased. He took off down the stairs which leads to the security post which is manned at all times by about 5 sheriff’s deputies, all standing around talking. This escape was not well planned, the closing arguments must have really gotten to him.  As a career juror, I have to tell you, this would have made my day. However, as a human being, I probably would have wet myself if the guy on trial got up and started running. Especially since the exits of the courtrooms require them to run passed the jury. This jury went on to convict this idiot (shocking, I know), and I’m sure this stunt…and the last stunt ..and the 8 counts he was convicted of will really make the judge sympathetic.
