SANDUSKY, Ohio – An Ohio man arrested for mowing unkempt grass at a public park said he just wanted to make his city look nice. John Hamilton said he took control of the situation because the grass in Sandusky's Central Park was about a foot high. According to a police report, a witness said Hamilton was blowing grass onto the sidewalk and shredding trash in the park that had not been picked up.

Police said they arrested 48-year-old Hamilton after he refused to stop mowing and charged him with obstructing official business and disorderly conduct.

City Manager Matt Kline called the arrest unfortunate and said he understands Hamilton's frustration. Kline said budget cuts have left Sandusky understaffed for seasonal maintenance work.

So what was the problem? he was paying for the gas in his mower, and doing the labor himself for free. I say let him finish! Sad, proof were just a few steps away from being a police state. "Do what we tell you, but don't act as we do or else." what a joke, I would made such a seen. We should take a collection to help pay this guys court fines.

If the city won't do it...why not let someone else do it. He just wanted to make the area look nice and not costing anyone else anything.

The REAL story is that the cop thought his tractor was sexy, and that scared him a little.

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
