It sounds like a sentence imposed by former judge – and my current Congressman – Ted Poe, but this time it happened in Cleveland, Ohio.
A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus unloading children stood in the cold Tuesday holding a sign warning people about idiots.
A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence for one hour Tuesday and another hour today. She arrived to serve her sentence yesterday bundled up against the 34-degree cold, puffing a cigarette, wearing head phones and avoiding comment as passing vehicles honked.
Satellite TV trucks were on hand to stream the event live near downtown Cleveland.
The sign read: "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."
Hardin's license was also suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.
