COSHOCTON, Ohio (Reuters) - Two Ohio men who threw beer bottles at a woman in a car paid the price on Friday -- they had to parade through the center of their hometown dressed as women.
Jason Householder, 23, and John Stockum, 21, walked around downtown Coshocton, population 12,000, for an hour Friday afternoon wearing dresses, wigs and makeup.
Coshocton County Municipal Judge David Hostetler passed the sentence on Oct. 18, telling the men they could either comply with his order or go to jail for 60 days after being convicted of criminal damage. He also fined them $250 each.
Hostetler, who often imposes unorthodox sentences, says he does so because of overcrowding in the Coshocton County Jail.

Heck, why not order them to parade through the Flats of Cleveland (where all the bars and nightclubs are) rather than Coshocton.Having lived in CLE for 2 years, I think a whole bunch of intoxicated bargoers could give them more punishment (and fear too for that matter) !!

Actually, the Judge should have ordered them to parade through Key West this past weekend at FantasyFest......plenty of men there who will REALLY make them feel like women.

Those little punks do what they deserve.
They should wear high-heel shoes and pink thongs and walk aorund in the cold all day in the rough parts of Cleveland.
I litte that judges idea of punishment and justice.
Prison wouldn't have done anything to them anyway.
