State seals records of Disney 'criminals'
Donald Duck isn't really a highway menace; he's just part of a computer test.
Tinker Bell has a problem with hallucinogenic mushrooms, and Donald Duck is a drunken driver.
But you'd never know any of that from looking at Iowa's official database of computerized court records - at least not anymore.
Iowa court administrators added felony charges against Bell and Duck to the state's computers last week to test new software. But when a Des Moines Register reporter asked questions, the cases were removed from public view before you could say "Disney lawyer."
Charges for Bell and Duck were electronically sealed along with other cases featuring two of Polk County's most overbooked criminals - Santa Claus (burglary, drugs and domestic abuse, among other charges) and Peter Pan (robbery, assault and indecent exposure).
Santa Claus also has two outstanding warrants - one entered in the computer system by "Grinch" and the other by "Judge Scrooge" - for "failure to appear @ my house."
:cool: :D :cheers: :snap:
