MAY 4--Meet Dale Stevens. The 90-year-old Oklahoma man was arrested yesterday for assaulting a police officer 50 years his junior after the nonagenarian was stopped for disobeying a traffic control device. After his 2003 Buick was pulled over, Stevens allegedly struck Sergeant Daniel Yorio in the arm and resisted arrest. According to a Municipal Court complaint, Stevens, 5' 11" and 150 pounds, was charged with obstructing legal process and battering Yorio. The 40-year-old Liberal (Kansas) Police Department officer is 5' 10" and 270 pounds, an offense report notes. Stevens, pictured above in a mug shot snapped at the Seward County lockup, is scheduled for a court appearance next week. With his bust, Stevens becomes the second-oldest arrestee featured on TSG. Texan Harriette "Dolly" Kelton, 97, was nabbed in April 2004 on a warrant issued for nonpayment of a citation issued for an expired auto registration

10. I've always wanted to go to Liberal, KS.

It all started when I was in HS and my philosophy class was going on a field trip to the Natural History Museum in NYC. We ended up behind a tractor trailer proudly proclaiming it was from Liberal, KS. I looked at it and yelled, "Liberal, KS? Isn't that an oxymoron?" This caused my teacher and several more astute students to crack up hysterically laughing.

One day, I will hit Liberal, KS in a road trip. I also want to have a UFO sighting on that road trip.
