Ohio judge gets bogus request

Somebody is filing restraining orders against Jerry Sandusky in several states as a prank. A federal judge in Dayton says the one he got is "utterly frivolous" and is warning whoever is responsible for it. The judge says he rejected the request filed under the name "Tom N. Jerry", which was the name used in another filing in Georgia. Other names were used in the one-page filings in Oregon, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Indiana. The former Penn State assistant football coach was found guilty last week on 45 counts of sexual abuse.
