A MAN WHO THREATENED TO KILL POLICE OFFICERS IN
CLEVELAND HAS BEEN PUNISHED BY WEARING A SIGN IN PUBLIC DECLARING HIM AN IDIOT.
Richard Dameron, 58, must stand outside a local
police station with a yellow sign around his neck for three hours each day this
week. Dameron was convicted of threatening officers in 911 calls. The sign
says: "I apologise to Officer Simone & all police officers for being
an idiot calling 911 threatening to kill you. I'm sorry and it will never
happen again."
"I was under the influence of alcohol, very
deeply into it," he said.
"We just got to rambling off, started acting
like fools with a couple of others.
His public shaming is not the first of its kind in
the city.
The Cleveland judge who sentenced Dameron
previously made a woman wear an idiot sign in public for driving around a
school bus.
What a punishment I must say. If this were to
happen in Nigeria, controversies will roll for days
