Man arrested for throwing snowballs


A Beaverton man, frustrated that no one would stop for him on the freeway this morning, began throwing snowballs at passing vehicles. He eventually got a ride he didn't bargain on to jail.
West Linn police arrested 29-year-old Zack Laughlin Kelly, accusing him of disorderly conduct. He was booked into the Clackamas County Jail, cited and released, pending a court appearance.
Sgt. Neil Hennelly, West Linn police spokesman, said Kelly was seen shortly after 3 a.m. walking in the fast lane of southbound Interstate 205 in West Linn, jumping toward vehicles to try to make them stop. One of the vehicles he jumped toward was a FedEx tractor-trailer rig.
Officers said they found him "marching" back and forth along the fog line, with snowballs in both hands. He also was walking in the center of the fast lane, throwing snowballs at vehicles passing him in the slow lane. more
