CINCINNATI OHIO Dec. 15, 2007 — Today's crime tip: don't steal police officers' tips. Police arrested Vincent Balough, 46, on on charges of theft and obstructing official business.Police said Balough took a $12 tip that two Cincinnati police officers left after eating at a restaurant downtown. Police were notified and they returned in time to snag the tip thief.Balough was jailed Wednesday night pending a court hearing.
We're not sure how they came up with the obstruction of official business charge unless eating is now "official business" but nonethe less they carted him off to the city jail to teach him a lesson and because stealing is against the law of course.
