Man ordered to sit under sign as criminal sentence

WABASH, Ind. -- A judge ordered that a man who has failed to pay child support must spend his days sitting in a county building's lobby under a sign reading, "I don't support my kids."\nWabash Circuit Judge Robert McCallen III said he imposed the sentence against Michael Booth, 33, of Wabash, not as a special punishment, but to avoid adding to the overcrowding of the county jail.\nThe judge cited Booth for contempt of court but said he would release Booth from sitting under the sign once he begins working at a job or shows he is making a sufficient attempt to find one.\nBooth could not be located for comment as no home telephone number was listed in his name.
