Stay Classy, Lincoln County!
From the “only in North Carolina” file, 30-year-old Richard Peterson had a meeting with his probation officer, but he didn’t show up. Instead, his probation officer turned on the TV, and was stunned to see his missing charge bragging about a one night stand with a stripper on “The Jerry Springer Show”. Peterson’s stunt earned him three days in jail, and presumably, a spot in the dumb criminals Hall of Fame. WRAL News has more information, courtesy of The Gaston Gazette.
