Son, wash your
car ... or else

IN Englewood, Fla.. in
February, minutes after Judy
Neuhaus had scolded her son
Ryan for not taking better
care of his 1995 Mercury
Cougar, a sputtering, single-
engine Cessna cleared some
trees and fell nose-first onto
the car, doing cons

damage to both vehicles but
noe seriously injuring the

Recent Moons: Minivan
passenger Rick Hanson, 27,
mooning motorists, was
thrown from the vehicle when
the driver crashed (giving
Hanson a postertur “road
rash” and a broken pelvis)
(Prunedale, Calif., April).
Chris Bailey, 19, was jailed
briefly after mooning a police
officer, and within an hour of
his release had mooned sever-
al more and was back in jail
(Belleville, Til, © March).
Robert White, 49, angry that
his trial for disorderly conduct
was not going well, mooned
the judge, running his total
jail time to 40 days (Little
Rock, Ark., March).

Recurring Themes: In
1994, News of the Weird
reported the trend of judges
ignoring DNA results when
they are used to disprove
fatherhood among men who
have mistakenly accepted legal
paternity. Courts put the
interests of the child first and
thus order support payments
to continue unless the actual
father steps up. In April 2000,
Dennis Caron, 43, went to jail
for 30 days in Columbus,
Ohio, protesting a court
order to continue supporting
his 10-year-old “son” despite
exonerating DNA evidence,
and the same month in St.
Louis, Bill Neal lost his law-
suit to extricate himself via
DNA evidence from support-
ing a boy that his girlfiend
had convinced him in 1989

was his. In 1997 News of the
Weird reported that a female
murder suspect had sued
Kiowa County, Okda., after ar:
inmate had sex with her,
impregnating her, through
the bars of their respective
cells in the county lockup, [ni
February 2000, Britain's
Prison Service launched an
inquiry after Donna Stokes,
19, became pregnant after her
boyfriend had sex with her
through the bars of their tem-
porary cells in the Swansea
Crown Court building while
both were awaiting a hearing
on burglary and theft charges.
Said Stokes of the couple’s
brief encounter: “We hadn't
seen each other for months.”

Q

Well-Put: Mob informant
Tommy Del Giorno, living a
new life under the federal wit-
ness security program (quoted
in a New York Times story in
January): “Legitimate peuple
are worse than mob people.
All the me I was in the mob,
I never really wanted to kill
anybody. Out here in the
legitimate world, there’s 10
people I’ve met that I would

Thinning the Herd: I
Aprii, a 43-year-old recre-
ational snow-machiner was
killed in an avalanche in
Alaska’s Hoodoo Mountains
while “highmarking,” or dri-
ving to hit ever-higher peaks
on the slopes; earlier that day,
he had been pulled, in shock,
from another avalanche after
higismarking and advised by
rescuers to quit.

Also, in the Last Month: A
39-year-old man was convict-
ed of selling cocaine, with an
enhanced penalty because the
deal took place near
Rosemary Minor Park, which
is named for a deceased com-
munity activist, who was the
man’s mother (New Orleans).
