Criminal charge for 89-year-old who wouldn't return errant football

Edna Jester, 89, faces a petty theft charge because she refused to return a football that ended up in her yard while children were playing in her Ohio neighborhood, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The paper says she wouldn't cooperate with the police officers, even after they warned her that she was facing possible criminal charges.

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

The officers cuffed her and took her to the station in Blue Ash, Ohio. She's due in court next month.
