| | | Dog gets sued in chu's hometown!
ATHENS, Ohio - One of the defendants has more than a leg to stand on in a lawsuit filed by a convicted drug dealer. Andi has four legs. He's a dog used by the Athens County Sheriff's Department.
County Prosecutor C. David Warren said to his knowledge, it's the first time the county's dog has ever been singled out as a defendant. Warren has volunteered to handle Andi's defense personally.
"That dog could've done something to me or one of my attendants," said Wayne Francis Green, 46, of Albany, who filed the suit Nov. 18 in Athens County Common Pleas Court.
Green, who is representing himself, alleges that a search of his furniture business in 2003 was illegal. He claims officers also went into an adjoining building that he owned without a warrant, but police deny it.
Green said Wednesday evening that he felt endangered by Andi's presence.
"They've got a mean ol' dog, you know what I'm saying? I take that pretty serious," Green said, adding, "I'm a dog lover, but that's the limit."
The search turned up 50 pounds of marijuana, and last month Green was convicted of possession and trafficking in the drug. His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 6.
Green's lawsuit, which seeks $450,000 in damages, also was filed against police investigators, Athens County Sheriff Vern Castle and the trial judge who ruled that the marijuana was admissible as evidence because it came from the furniture business, not the other building.
Last Thursday, Andi the German shepherd was informed that he's being sued, sort of. With a paw print, the dog "signed" the paper indicating he had been formally served with the complaint.
Green said he wants prosecutors to look into the dog's actions.
"I want him charged with several different felony counts," he said.-Yahoo Odd News
HA! This is in my (original) hometown!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
*Sighes* My randomness must be influencing the area. Property values are bound to go down.    |

| | I tend to agree that the police didnt have the authority (Im familar with the business) but hes still guilty. And the fact that hes suing the dog caps it. $450,000 is a stretch for the county to have, let alone its dog. |

| | | Well the 450000 isnt decided by how much money the defendants have, its decided upon how much 'damages' were sustained.
Maybe if the dog were biting him, or it ate his marijuana, thus harming his income... atleast now I know where to get a lawyer who can get anything admitted into court. |

| | Well, I have to say, the general insanity of this is kind of refreshing. It's so much more normal then the focused insanity at the lab.

I like the latter idea. Only problem is, if the insanity is an unofficial declaration, we probably wouldn't be eligible for any kinds of perks or benefits. You know..the freebie shocks and gel pads? 
@Chu...
You know... I'm not really sure I want to contemplate just what might be in the water down there

Do you want to be shocked anywhere with this MPBS (I think you can decipher it) or should I leave and use it for it;s intended purpose?
"Ma, theres a dead weasel in the well again!!"

Columbus ets most of its "supply" (of marijauna) from down there. Not something to be proud of. |

| Sounds like where I live. "BC bud," is some of the finest available anywhere, and is actually the province's biggest cash crop. Whenever I've visited one of the interior mountain regions (The Kooteneys), there have usually been police copters flying overhead. Of course... they could have just been observing the nude beaches...
