Don't run a fowl of the law in Painesville, Ohio or you might have to wear a funny costume in public. Judge Michael Cicconetti, famous for unusual sentences, agreed to suspend a 30-day jail sentence if the offenders wear the costume between 4 and 7 p.m. Friday outside the court while carrying a sign that reads "No Chicken Ranch in Painesville." The sign refers to the famous Nevada brothel that was the subject of a musical play and movie; apparently the judge is a fan. I just have one question, where did they get the chicken costume? I have a feeling the judge has a feather fetish.
