Iron Man takes on North Dakota sheriff

It's rare that Ozzy Osbourne and/or North Dakota make appearances in It's a Crime, but when they do, it's certainly memorable. Enjoy, dear readers, this little tale that's going around the Internet like mad.

Ozzy Osbourne was @£$%&* annoyed. When police in North Dakota were hunting around for a way of bringing in hundreds of petty criminals on outstanding arrest warrants, they hit on the novel idea of inviting them to a fake party the night the rocker was due to play a local arena.

More than 30 people turned up at the nightclub in Fargo hoping to meet the former Black Sabbath frontman and reality television star. They were promptly arrested.

Apparently, Ozzy was not amused that his good name was associated with common criminals (or, perhaps, just with very foolish ones like the guys headed off to the pokey). He's demanding that Sheriff Paul Laney apologize. Sheriff Laney says he meant no disrespect.
