Reading the local paper, I came across the following headlines:
Man urinated on City Hall
SAINT JOHN - Larry Christopher Buchanan, 47, pleaded guilty to urinating on City Hall and received five days in jail. He told Judge James McNamee that he was trying to reunite with his wife and children, but hasn't been successful. "I can probably say that your antics haven't helped either," McNamee said.

Man decided his boots weren't made for walkin'
Darryl Joseph Legacy of St. Stephen might have benefited from a twice daily walk across town. Instead, Legacy, 20, can practise pacing at the Saint John Regional Correction Centre, where he will serve a 14-day sentence for breaching a probation order to complete 20 hours of community service. Legacy did not show up at the scheduled times because..."It's a long walk," Legacy told the judge. (Source: Telegraph Journal)
But my favorite so far is the on-going Wafer-gate
scandal which took place at former Governor-General Romeo Leblanc's funeral:
'The story stated that a senior Roman Catholic priest in New Brunswick had demanded that the Prime Minister's Office explain what happened to the communion wafer which was handed to Prime Minister Harper during the celebration of communion at the funeral mass. The story also said that during the communion celebration, the Prime Minister "slipped the thin wafer that Catholics call 'the host' into his jacket pocket".
Perhaps he needed a snack for the long ride back to Ottawa?
Turns out the editor added unsubstantiated details after the reporters submitted the story. The editor and publisher have since been relieved of their duties. Read their front page apology below: http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/front/article/742374

I'm so jealous that you're in NB reading the Telegraph - damn that's a good paper! love the reference to St. Stephen, long walk indeed, you can walk from one end of town to another in 45 minutes!
That paper is the BEST, most hilarious read ever! I could do a whole blog on the crazy things people do...and the way it gets reported. The St Stephen shout out was in your honour :-)
