Man busted for installing DIY crosswalk

Marilyn sez, "A father in Muncie, Indiana was tired of cars that didn't stop at the stop signs at the intersection outside his house, so he asked the city to make a crosswalk. The city refused, so he painted his own, and got arrested for criminal mischief."

"I used spray paint on the outline, and went to Wal-Mart, where they had a sale on … white paint and rolled it out," he said.

Stump said he didn't hear about the second charge right away, causing him to miss a court appearance. Because he missed his court date, he spent 10 hours in jail.
