NILES, Mich. (AP) -- Talk about being in a pickle: A judge gave a 35-year-old man probation in a case that police said involved an assault with pickles. According to police reports, the pickle problems began when Bobby Lee Bolen of Buchanan was hanging out at his then-friend Jody Lee's home in Buchanan on Aug. 20.

Lee told police Bolen slammed him down on the couch and threw two large pickles at him and said, "Here's your damn pickles."

"If this is not the silliest case I've ever seen in this courtroom, it certainly is in the Top 10," Berrien Trial Court Judge Scott Schofield said. "The fact that it's silly doesn't mean that it's not serious."Defense attorney Robert Lutz said alcohol appeared to be at the root of Bolen's problems.
Bolen's sentence included 54 days in jail with credit for 54 days served and one year of probation.

The guy was held in jail for 54 days while awaiting trial on simple assault charges? That lawyer of his REALLY sucks.
My guess is that "his" attorney was court appointed and generally they don't put an excessive amount of energy into the defence. As I've advised "some" people: Don't get into any kind of troublre you can't afford to buy your way out of. Alice
