Parole violator caught on camera kissing girlfriend
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press

CINCINNATI-- A wanted man was arrested after his parole officer spotted him kissing his girlfriend in a live crowd shot displayed on the scoreboard at a Cincinnati Reds game.

David Horton and his parole officer both attended the May 7 game when the smooching couple were caught by the ``Kiss Cam'' at Great American Ball Park.

The parole officer and a police officer arrested Horton, 24, in his front row seat.

"Out of all the coincidences, we had 20- or 30-thousand people at the ballpark and who do they put on the 'Kiss Cam'? And then, who is there but his parole officer?" said Richard Goldberg, Horton's attorney.

Horton, of Cincinnati, was convicted of felonious assault in 1999 for stabbing two men. He was granted release after serving two years of a four-year prison sentence.

Horton had been arrested March 27 and was indicted for trafficking and possession of cocaine. He is accused of failing to appear in court on those charges.

If convicted, he could face up to 18 years in prison.

Hee hee hee.

This got me thinking. If there is an arrest warrant with my name on it, and I really wasn't gonna show for court, where would I go?

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go to the ballgame - but then again there is the safety in numbers thing. And they do have a new stadium in Cinci - hey - How did this snot get front-row seats?

Canada is too cold.

So my question is:
You have a warrant and you aren't about to appear in court. Would you pull a Scott Peterson - hair dyed, pockets of cash, mad dash thing? Do you have someone who would harbor you - a felony? Or would you just go to the ballgame and use your front-row seats?
