I don't know what is more funny about this story...the absurdity of it of that the defendants name is Butts....
DES MOINES, Iowa -- A toilet paper caper out of Marshalltown is on a roll.
The
Marshalltown County Sheriff's Office said Suzanne Marie Butts, 38, was
caught Friday ripping off three rolls of toilet paper from the Marshall
County courthouse.
Butts is facing up to three years in prison for the theft.
A Florida woman is butting in, saying she feels sorry for Butts.
If
the Web site of South Floridian Margaret Briganti works, 1 million
rolls of toilet paper could soon be rolling into Marshalltown.
In an e-mail sent to KETV sister station KCCI on Tuesday, Briganti stated that she wants to save Butts' hide."(It's) the first time I did this. It's the first time," Butts said on Friday.
Efforts
to contact Briganti failed, but Briganti wrote that she has started a
Web site to get Butts butt out a sling by having 1 million Americans
send one whole roll of toilet paper to the Marshall County courthouse.
Marshalltown
police said that on Friday, Butts was arrested on charges of stealing
$30 from a family member. That makes four theft charges against her."Yeah, but I didn't do no jail time. I didn't go to jail for that. I just got a ticket," Butts said.
Briganti
wrote it was sad that Paris Hilton get off with a slap on the wrist,
and that Butts could potentially do prison time for the thefts.
Briganti
hopes other Americans others will join her in giving the courthouse a
good "TPing" that Marshall County won't soon forget.
Briganti
requested that KCCI let her know when the courthouse is overrun with
toilet paper from caring Americans who want to help out.
