This is a sad tale of an 85-year-old man who, in recent years, has been ripped off to the tune of six figures in at least two separate cases, and now is in jail for going out to get his newspaper while wearing only socks. He allegedly then asked a neighbor if she wanted to fondle him. That was a "no." So he ended up in jail and, although he could bond himself out for a hundred bucks, he wouldn't do it. After a month, when an article appeared in the Des Moines Register, a bail bondsman stepped up and posted bond. The poor guy's just addled and decrepit and has no family or friends left and nowhere to go. Aging sucks. (Des Moines Register)
