89 year-old Edna Jester from Blue Ash, Ohio, is facing charges for petty theft after taking the football belonging to her teenage neighbor that was in her yard.

Mother of the boy who owns the ball, Kelly Tanis, said she called the police because Jester has taken balls from her children before. She also said, "This time it was a ball that my son had just bought with his own money. He works and he makes his own money, and he bought that ball, and six days later she took it."

Blue Ash police said all they wanted was for Jester to give the ball back, they did not want to arrest her. However, she refused, saying "I was giving it back sooner or later, but not right now, so they could make a laughing stock out of me."

Jester appears in court November 12th.
