Cops: Man hit kids at store for thrill
68-year-old arrested Wednesday in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Police in Ohio say a man in a Walmart store punched children with a key protruding from his fist and told investigators it was a thrill.


Sixty-eight-year-old Ralph Conone was arrested at a Columbus Walmart Wednesday after a mother told the store her 6-year-old son said Conone hit him.

The boy was treated for a minor cut on the head. Police say a brother also had been struck.

Sgt. John Hurst says Conone told police it was exciting to hit children with their parents nearby.

When Conone was in court Friday on two counts of assault, a judge set bond at $150,000 and told him to keep out of Walmarts. His public defender said Conone is manic depressive.

Police say they're looking for two other children seen getting struck on store video.

Went to visit Billy Bob today. I feel bad for what happened, guilty I guess.

They arraigned him in the hospital last week sometime, he pled guilty to all charges.

THIS IS WHERE YOUR TROLL GETS DERAILED, SON.

THERE IS NO WAY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO SEE THE PERPETRATOR WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH WITNESS TAMPERING OR WITNESS INTIMIDATION,AS WELL AS VIOLATING THE CONDITIONS OF YOUR BAIL.

SECONDLY, THE DUDE COULD ONLY BE ARRAIGNED ON CHARGES AND NOT SENTENCED. DUE PROCESS MUCH? AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME HE COULD ONLY BE CHARGED WITH VIOLATING PAROLE WHICH IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BALLGAME THAN THE WALMART BRAWL.

5/10 FOR EFFORT, 4/10 FOR EXECUTION.

So I decided to take the deal last night and went to see my P.D. this morning.

He wouldn't let me take the deal!

He advised me to wait and see what happens, the deal is open ended and I can take it right up to the day the trial starts (that's what he said).

Then he sent me off to drop a piss test (condition of my release).

Does he know something about the case I don't?

Hang on in there bugz. I wish I'd one the auction for your old walmart badge - I had great plans for it!

no, he is following the correct procedure, why accept a deal now when a better one may be forthcoming, like I said its pretty much a guarantee a new deal will be offered a week before the trial...btw you should be negotiating for a misdemeanor to avoid a black mark on your record.

Used2beBuggy said:

He said there may not be a better deal to be had, but why not just wait and see, we literally have nothing to lose by waiting it out.

Thanks, I wish I had 50 more to sell right now.

unless there is publicity surrounding it DA doesn't want to go to trial either but they do want their pound of flesh too.

You could sell that video? Also something else unique? Billy Bob's eye?

I'm gonna wait til he gets his glass eye, then sneak up on his blind side and steal it

I'm seriously trying to get a copy of the video, don't hold your breath though.

It was hard for me to watch, but just because it was me in it though probably

Damn, I missed this thread! I won the heated bidding war for Buggy's Badge. It holds an honored spot on my desk. Best of luck on your jail time Bugs. Stay strong!
