Edna Jester is in hot water.

The 89-year-old Ohio woman is accused of keeping the football of some neighborhood kids after it kept landing in her yard. She’s been charged with petty theft, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Mrs. Jester, that’s no joke.

Reminds me of that scene from The Sandlot, when the kids are too scared to retrieve their Babe Ruth baseball from the big dog’s yard.
