Joshua Newell of suburban Gahanna, Ohio pleaded no contest on Wednesday to a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge and was found guilty.
He was sentenced to four days in jail, with two of those suspended, and fined US$200 plus other costs in Delaware Municipal Court, north of Columbus. He left court wearing a T-shirt printed with the words “Cougar Love,” WBNS-TVreported. His video posted last week shows an outer fence being jumped, then two cougars being petted through another fence as someone says things such as “Kitty, kitty, kitty.”
