Old Woman Arrested For Keeping Child’s Ball
THERE’S no-one quite link grandma for nicking your ball:
An 88-year-old Ohio grandmother was arrested last week when she refused to return a neighborhood boy’s football that had landed in her front yard.
Did she eat it?

Call the police. Tell the teacher. No-one likes a grass…
Though police warned that she would be arrested unless she returned the football, Jester refused, according to the below Blue Ash Police Department report. In a TSG interview, an emotional Jester said that she had repeatedly warned her teenage neighbors that she did not want to retrieve their football since, “I’m not a ball chaser.”
