"Olson is accused of violating City Code 8-7-3: Toy Guns and Slingshots, which police say prohibits discharging "any air rifle, toy pistol, toy gun or other toy arms or slingshot" within city limits. The minimum fine is $105 and the maximum is $855, Hermiston said. Olson will have to appear in court to receive the financial penalty, he said.
Olson also faces four violations from the Iowa DNR totaling $200. Department spokesperson Tammie Krausman said scheduled fine amounts for the four cited violations are hunting without a license, $70; hunting without a habitat fee, $30; unlawfully taking or attempting to take squirrels, $70; and shooting over a highway, $30."

America is so f*d up.

In all of this bureaucratic nonsense, where's the charge for "you shot a guy and damaged his life forever, you dipshit"?
