High Heel Race Leads to Legal Trouble

By Miss Cellania in Crime & Law on Mar 26, 2008 at 9:40 am


150HighHeel41-year-old Garrett A. Dalton of Naugatuck, Connecticut entered a radio station contest to win Hannah Montana tickets last year. He had to run a 40-yard dash in high heels carrying an egg on a spoon. The bad news: he didn’t win. The worse news: he was recognized on a TV news report. Authorities say Dalton was collecting workman’s compensation at the time for an injury that made him unable to work, and he is now under prosecution for fraud. Link -via Fark

    Karma is a bitc*. It's always the stupid ones this happens to.

    Yeah if you are getting workman's comp, don't let people catch you doing stuff like this. :rolleyes:

    I hope they throw the book at him.

    Don't see how the story is "NEAT" however.....

    I hope they go easy on him. He was clearly trying to win the tickets FOR HIS KIDS who may possibly miss out on treats like this because their dad is on welfare.

    Can he somehow blame Wal-Mart for this?
