Idiots of the Week: A Pothole Threat and Pumpkin Attack Fraud

There are 2 idiots of week this week- one who threatened to kill someone because of potholes and the other who paid a mask-wearing pumpkin man to attack him to collect worker's comp!

1) GOING TO POT OVER POTHOLES

In February, 2018, Police say a Massachusetts man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill a town administrator over potholes in the road near his home.  Court records show 57-year-old Paul Keddy, of Douglas, called Highway Superintendent John Furno last week to complain about the road. When Furno suggested Keddy take his concerns to the town administrator, Keddy allegedly responded saying he would kill him. Keddy was arraigned Wednesday on a charge of threatening to commit a crime.  

2) THE PUMPKIN MAN BOSTON TROLLEY DRIVER PAID MAN $2,000 TO ATTACK HIM ON JOB

BOSTON (AP) — Authorities say a Massachusetts trolley driver paid a man $2,000 to attack him while wearing a Halloween mask so the driver could fraudulently collect workers’ compensation and disability insurance.

  A Suffolk County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Thomas Lucey on charges of insurance fraud, workers’ compensation fraud, misleading a police investigation and perjury.

  Prosecutors say the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority driver reported the man pulled him out of a trolley shortly after midnight on Oct. 30, 2016, and punched him repeatedly. The attacker wore a mask and carried a plastic pumpkin.
