Dim Crims: Man owns up to being an idiot

An Ohio man is standing outside this week wearing a sign around his neck that declares he is an idiot. Richard Dameron, a 58-year-old from Cleveland, stood with his arms crossed outside the local police station, a yellow sign with block lettering stating his apology. "I apologize to officer Simone & all police officers for being an idiot calling 911 threatening to kill you. I'm sorry and it will never happen again," the sign says. Dameron was convicted of calling 911 and threatening police, and then missing a court appearance, according to WKYC. His unusual sentence is public shaming for three hours every day this week. [ECS]
