SAGINAW, Mich. (Feb. 20) - A judge made sure the punishment fit the crime when he sentenced a man to clean 100 toilets at the Saginaw County Jail.
Jonathan F. Naessens, 23, pleaded guilty to stealing a firearm from a Richland Township home, but investigators also found human feces in the basement near the window where the burglar entered the house.
Authorities say Naessens defecated on the floor. In addition to the toilet scrubbing, Circuit Judge Fred L. Borchard on Wednesday sentenced the Richland Township man to two years' probation and to pay $389 in restitution to clean the property.
''The sentence is excellent,'' Sheriff Charles L. Brown told The Saginaw News. ''What's more disgusting than someone coming into your home and doing this?''
I applaud the judge. Very appropriate and creative.
holding the man by the ankles and dousing him might have been a bit more appropriate
I agree Phoenix, some of these judges have some great creative ideas that get the point across.
edgar--you're probably right
I hate when that **** happens
Stumble It!
