Get off My La ... Woah. Back Up Here. You're Arresting Her?

Cops in Ohio arrested an 89-year-old lady over the weekend for doing what 89-year-old women do.

She took a teenager's ball and wouldn't give it back. Now 89 year-old Edna Jester from Blue Ash is facing charges.

"I said go ahead and arrest me. Handcuff me if you'd like, because I said I'm not guilty of anything," said Jester.

Blue Ash Police arrested Jester Thursday for petty theft after taking her teenage neighbor's football that was in her yard, NewsChannel5 sister station WCPO-TV in Cincinnati reported.

The incident was caught on tape by people across the street who support Jester.

"Taken down and interrogated, a 90 year-old lady. It almost hits home like this is the United States, this can't happen and this is absolutely ridiculous," said neighbor Kevin Pike.

Kelly Tanis has five children and said Jester has taken balls from her children before. So she called the police.

"This time it was a ball that my son had just bought with his own money. He works and he makes his own money, and he bought that ball, and six days later she took it."

Good God! If you don't want the old lady to take your fucking ball, keep it our of her goddamn yard. But if it bounces into it, don't be surprised if she takes it. And for the love of God, is arrest really necessary?
