Brush with the law

It seems that Ozzy Osbourne (we love him) is not too happy with Fargo, North Dakota Sherrif Paul Loney after he hit on the inventive idea of inviting hundred of petty criminals with outstanding arrest warrants to a fake party the night the rock legend was holding a concert in a local arena.

More than 30 of the bad boys turned up at a nightclub in the hopes of meeting the former Black Sabbath front man and were promptly arrested on arrival. Too Funny!

Ozzy, however, didn't see the funny side saying: "Sheriff Laney should be apologising to me for using my name in connection with these arrests.

"It is insulting to me and to my audience and it shows how lazy this particular sheriff is when it comes to doing his job."

The Sherrif, on the other hand, was unapologetic, saying: "We meant no disrespect toward Mr Osbourne or his show. They get very creative in how they abscond from the law," he told reporters. "We just got real creative in how we reeled them in." Fair enough then.
