Teen Ordered To Wear Toga

An Amherst teen will be wearing a toga in front of the town police station to make amends for shouting obscenities at an officer.

James Connelly, 19, was arrested Saturday and charged with three other minors on alcohol possession charges.

Police allege Connelly was shouting obscenities at the female officer who arrested him.

In Eastern Hampshire District Court Tuesday, Connelly suggested his punishment should be to stand outside the Amherst police station for one hour on Friday, wearing a toga and apologizing for his behavior.

Judge Nancy Dusek-Gomez agreed the punishment fit the crime, and also fined Connelly $300.
