Area coach turns self into police, found not guilty

Area youth sports coach Rope Givens turned himself in to Police this morning. Givens had been missing since last weeks incident at Vinland Ice and Games. After questioning by Vinland Police detectives, Givens was brought before Vinland Municipal Court to answer charges of criminal mischief, animal cruelty, and $1000 worth of property damage.

Immediately after the charges were read, Givens lawyer Red Stevens deployed his "Ace up his sleeve" defense. The tactic, which is well known throughout Bluffburg County, resulted in the immediate release of Givens, who was found not guilty on all charges by Judge Lance Murdock.

When reached for comment immediately after the hearing, lead prosecutor Debra Forbes tipped her hat to Stevens. "Bringing a grenade into the court room is a pretty clear sign of innocence, so the prosecution really does not disagree with the judge's ruling this morning."
