Odd News: Woman arrested for keeping kids' ball

An 89-year-old Ohio woman faces a charge of petty theft because neighborhood children say she refused to give back their football.
Edna Jester was placed under arrest last week and taken to the police station in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash. Police say there had been an ongoing dispute over the errant football and a child's father called to report that Jester kept the ball after it landed in her yard.Blue Ash Police Capt. James Schaffer says police warned Jester twice and finally arrested her after she refused to accept a citation. She must appear in mayor's court next month.
Jester said Monday she didn't have time to discuss the incident, saying she has received many phone calls about it.
What are your thoughts on this CNN news article? (on

I think it was wrong for her not to give the football back but in a way I think they shouldn't have threw it in her yard. Even if it was an accident they should have been more careful. I think it is stupid that she didn't give it back because its just a football. To me I don't think its that big of deal to put someone in jail over a football but people have their own opinion.
