WEIRD AND STRANGE PUNISHMENTS
Added on: 30th May 2016
A VISIT TO THE MORGUE
A judge had Jonathan Tarase visit the morgue to see the
bodies of car crash victims after he nearly killed a couple
by running a red light.
MANDATORY HOMELESSNESS
Nathan Smith was caught stealing a donation kettle from the
Salvation Army so he was ordered by a judge to spend
24 hours homeless.
THIS IS NOT A POLICE OFFICER
In 2002, after yelling “pigs” at police officers, a Painesville man was
made to stand on a street corner with a pig while holding a
sign that read “This is not a police officer”.
TWENTY HOURS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC
When Andrew Vactor was caught blasting rap music out of his car,
the judge offered to reduce his fine if he listened to 20 hours of
classical music (so he would know what it is like to have to listen
to something he didn’t enjoy). He only lasted 15 minutes.
FLOWERS, BIRTHDAY CARD, RED LOBSTER, BOWLING
An argument over a husband not wishing his wife a happy birthday
ended up with the husband pushing her onto a couch and
holding his fist up to her, although not hitting her. The judge
apparently asked the wife what she liked to do and she replied
that she enjoyed Red Lobster and bowling.
“Flowers, birthday card, Red Lobster, bowling”, was the judge’s reply.
GET A JOB
When a 25 year old man in Spain took his parents to court for not
giving him an allowance, the judge decided he was wasting the
court’s time and told him his punishment – finding a job.
LOTS OF POSTCARDS
When an intoxicated Andrew Gaudioso crashed into and killed
Thomas Towers Jr., the judge ordered him to send Thomas’s
parents one postcard per week for the next 15 years so
that he wouldn’t forget what he had done.
PIZZA DONATIONS
After a pizza shop owner in Buffalo was caught for tax fraud,
the judge spared him 7 years if he agreed to pay back what he owed
and donate 12 pizzas per week to a local mission for the next year.
