Guilty Plea In Hairpiece Snatching

Associated Press

Thursday, September 16, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A man was sentenced to probation Monday for snatching the hairpiece off the head of another man at a restaurant.

Paul J. Goudy, 25, of Lemoyne, pleaded guilty Monday to theft by unlawful taking. He was sentenced to 23 months' probation, fined $500 and ordered to write a letter of apology.

The victim, Edward Floyd, was sitting in the Fisaga restaurant in Harrisburg on Jan. 1 when Goudy ripped the hairpiece off his head, taking with it a gold chain that hung from his neck, according to court documents.

"Don't these guys have anything better to do than to rob and humiliate someone for absolutely no reason in the world? It's just outrageous," said Floyd, 60, of Harrisburg. "I'm a nice guy. I don't bother anybody."

Goudy said another man, Matthew G. Flinchbaugh, 26, of Wormleysburg, had offered him $100 to do it as a dare. Flinchbaugh is scheduled to be arraigned next month on charges of soliciting Goudy to steal the hairpiece.

Flinchbaugh's lawyer, William Fetterhoff, said the prank was "an exercise in very poor judgment."

"It's the sort of prank that when you're on the other end -- as Mr. Floyd was -- it's not funny at all," he said.

Flinchbaugh is expected to request entry into a first-time offender's program.

Floyd said he is examining the possibility of a lawsuit against Flinchbaugh, although he said he might drop the idea if Flinchbaugh apologizes.

"It has literally affected my entire life, and for what? What did I do?" Floyd said.

I wonder if the Hair Plugs for Men Clubs will seize on this as a marketing opportunity to instill yet more fear and self loathing into the hearts of balding men everywhere...

Greetings TheMinstrel!

It could also initiate a growth in "Wig Alarms", with built in motion detectors. Since the Surveillance State is growing at an exponential rate, all the Toupee/wig wearing men AND women will feel safer in this Brave New World of Terrorist Beer coolers, Exploding Toilet paper, Killer Umbrellas, and Alarming Almanacs.
