I'm a troll, fall-di-ar-roll

From boing boing a truly great story. : -

Psychedelic bridge troll arrested

Robert Hibbs, 19, was arrested for demanding $1 tolls from joggers and bikers crossing a bridge in Boulder, Colorado. Hibbs claimed to be a troll who owned the bridge. He was apparently tripping on LSD. Hibbs was arrested after demanding that an off-duty deputy pay up. From TheDenverChannel.com:

The off-duty deputy, who was not identified, told police the confrontation with Hibbs started after the man hit his bike with a broken golf club when he forced his way past without paying. The two became involved in an altercation and Hibbs hit the deputy with a golf club, the police report stated. The deputy said he took the golf club away from Hibbs and struck him in an attempt to defend himself...

Police said they confiscated a large marijuana joint rolled in $1 bills at the scene and then searched (the apartment of Bradley Boville, who was on the bridge with Hibbs) and recovered drugs and drug paraphernalia. Hibbs was arrested for investigation of menacing and possession of a controlled substance, according to police.
