We're not exactly Mayberry, but this is our hometown version of Earnest T. Bass, the guy who engaged in petty vandalism constantly.

Almost anybody who lives in this area has had an opportunity to be annoyed by his antics although he has a much smaller audience these days with less traffic on the road.

Looks like he’s up a creek without a cone :)

Sorry...

From the article: He spent almost two years in jail before his trial because he refused to accept a bail condition that would have required him to undergo a mental health evaluation.

More comments on the article from people he harassed.

Thanks for the backstory.

Annoy enough people in a community, and you will be in trouble.

I can almost see Barney Fife pulling the bullet out of his breast pocket just by reading that headline.

Spartan here. Class of ‘71.

Life is good when annoyances like this are the highlight of law enforcement activity in your area.

Interesting name for a town. I wonder if it attracted a lot of hippies back in the 60s?

Anyway, he damn well should have been arrested. After all, the traffic cone is the Pennsylvania state tree.

I was wondering if crime across the nation has gone down. I’m glad to see the degree of crime has lessen.

But I’m still thinking of taking a class on shooting a gun and maybe buying one. My hammer in the front seat of my car, the baseball bat ready at the front door and my bow & arrow by my patio doors may not be enough protection.

Pass me a potato Ernest T. No all the potatoes

Went to my friend who owns a hardware store looking for a bunch of Highway cones. He said he assumed most people just pick them up for free on the roadside.

Reminds me of an old coot in my hometown known as ‘cussin’ Vern, who rode a beat up moped and swore profusely at anyone who dared to pass him on the road.
