A 19-year-old Wisconson male has been convicted of disorderly conduct for 'planking' on areas including the top of an ATM, a Walmart merchandise display, a patrol car, and a police memorial monument. One officer compared the final location to 'planking' atop a gravestone in a cemetery.
Photos posted on Facebook as well as a video shared on YouTube of the young man in various locations were used as evidence against him in the Manitowoc municipal court case. Judge Steven Olson fined him $303 for his escapade, which was photographed by his brother, who also faced a disorderly conduct trial the following week.
(Were the extra $3 really necessary?...)
Lesson to be learned: Planking was never that amusing.
