Teen Banned from saying the word "Bingo"



I often find myself wondering why cops are out catching speeders when there are meth heads, killers, and rapist out but I can actually come to a conclusion to why. They are looking out for our safety a speeder could potentially be a threat and cause a wreck, and possibly take lives. Okay I get it, but why are police (OFF DUTY POLICE) concerning themselves with someone who walks into a bingo hall and yells BINGO! 

Seriously how many old ladies have thought they had a bingo and called it out at the wrong time? It’s a bit embarrassing for them but everyone moves on in life. I have been following this story pretty closely since I heard about it a couple nights ago on several of my local news station. Long story short (and there are several news stations so several details but a few remained the same in all stories those are the ones I will list). 

Teen (Austin Whaley) walks into a bingo hall (or group of teens depending on news station), say bingo a few times. Boom! An off duty cop (Park Hills Police Sgt. Richard Webster) arrests the teen and cites him for disorderly conduct (Teen battles temptation to say word forbidden by judge).

Kenton District Judge Douglas Grothaus said “the court must also have a sense of humor.” (even the judge thought this was a bogus charge) Judge Douglass banned the teen from saying bingo for 6 months (Covington Teen Sentenced To Not Say "Bingo" For Six Months)
