In what now appears to be an ongoing series of tales about stupid criminals and phones (the one that started with the subway perv), the latest story comes from Liverpool, England, where a guy was just convicted of throwing his phone at Manchester United star Wayne Rooney during a match.
Nobody likes Man U, granted, but a phone really isn’t the best thing to throw at a player on the field from the stands during a globally televised English Premier League match. As the judge put it, “You may have well as left your name and address on the pitch.”
So, Roy Goldie, 35, of Dovecot, Liverpool, we at MobHappy salute you as our latest stupid phone criminal.
(On a side note, an earlier story says Roy plead not guilty “to a charge of throwing a mobile telephone at or towards a playing area, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse.” What would constitute lawful authority or reasonable excuse?)
