| Sex dispute ends in tractor rampage |
| 2007-01-16 |
| It started with client who wouldn't pay a prostitute and ended in a tractor rampage, two damaged cars and criminal convictions. New Zealand's Timaru District Court has heard how a prostitute tried to get her own back on Christopher Malcolm Duane Muir, a farmhand on the country's South Island, who didn't pay after using her services. The Dominion Post reports the prostitute and three friends visited Muir on a farm to try to recover the money. Muir could not pay the women, who smashed his car windows and dented a door using a bat, causing about $NZ1400 ($A1240) damage, the court heard. Muir then drove a tractor at the women's car while they were in it. A front loader on the tractor smashed the car's windscreen, shattering glass on Jacinta Kathleen Borrie, a front seat passenger. Muir tried to stop the car before it was driven away and struck a door of the vehicle with the tractor. Muir pleaded guilty to dangerous driving of a tractor, five counts of unlawful taking, three of burglary, and incurring debt by deception. He will be sentenced on February 22. Borrie has pleaded guilty to intentionally damaging Muir's car and will reappear for sentencing on January 29. |

| #9 Oh, Jerry Springer paid his prostitute... but with a signed personal check. He was a good and popular mayor looking toward moving up to the state capitol in the future, until he handed over that check. We were here at the time and I remember the uproar -- Cincinnatians tend to be a strait-laced bunch on such matters. |

| #7 Did the whores not get in trouble for trashing his car? Please, no one say they got off on that. I'm in no mood for bad humor. |

| #5 So, remember, children, the morality of the story is : always pay your debts, especially when you go cruising for hookers. |

| #4 She thinks my tractor's (not) sexy? Sounds like a good title for a country song... |

| #3 ("Dangerous Driving of a Tractor"? They've got a law specifically about farm machinery?) Sure, why not? Imagine the damage you can do with a disc or bush hog. |

| #2 Great headline. The guy got off easy. They could've hired Clint Eastwood to kill him. |

| #1 The words "sex" and "tractor" should not appear in the same sentence. ("Dangerous Driving of a Tractor"? They've got a law specifically about farm machinery?) |
