Kiss and tell? Man at Reds game sent back to jail

Parole violator caught on camera kissing girlfriend

Thursday, May 29

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.

Funny... The guy should lose a year or two just because of the way he was caught ;).

Extremely Funny! :D

Seriously, though. What are the chances of that happening? Very very slim...which I guess is why we hear ONLY about this one out of the millions of ball games played a year.
