Ozzy Fans in Fargo Get Treated To Trick In Halloween Sting Operation

10/31/07, 11:38 am EST


Roughly forty Ozzy Osbourne fans invited to a pre-party before the Ozzy/Rob Zombie concert in Fargo, North Dakota, were greeted with an unexpected surprise: Handcuffs! In what has to be the best sting operation since To Catch a Predator, invitations were sent out to people who ignored court summons, didn’t pay child support, failed to pay fines, etc. Approximately forty Ozzy fans (or Rob Zombie fans, to be fair) responded to the invite and attended the bash, which was held at the concert venue by PDL Productions. Little did they know, PDL stood for “Paul D. Laney,” a county sheriff, and that all those meaty guys wearing PDL T-shirts were actually deputy sheriffs, probation officers and local DEA members. Rather than boozing, the miscreants who showed up got arrested on outstanding warrants. “It was more of a warrant party,” Laney joked. Some on the cuffed end even thought the elaborate ruse was funny, but a few turned hostile when the reveal was made. We’re really hoping this whole affair was taped. It’s got Dateline written all over it. So be warned, the next time the Blizzard of Ozz blows into your town, do not attend the pregame festivities if you’re hiding from the law.

I’m guessing they won’t be Ozzy fans anymore. Suckers!

that’s bullshit! Leave it to the cops who have time to sit around, drink coffee, to hatch such a psychotic plot. Hopefully Ozzy will sue the police for using his name without his permission!

It’s not entrapment. THey have been convicted of a crime, and weren’t owning up to it.

Dana Doll | 11/1/2007, 3:44 pm EST

it’s a bullshit way to arrest people, it makes Ozzy look like he hoodwinked his own fans. The five oh is lame and useless.

Warrant parties are nothing new, been profiled in news shows before. Not entrapment if they already committed crimes, they were not entrapped into a crime. If they were avoiding punishment, they were lured to their justified arrest,

Man, that decoy woman on “To Catch a Predator” is fucking hot.

Teonanactl? | 11/2/2007, 8:43 pm EST

Huh. . . . That’s kind of clever. . . . But oh-so-wrong. . . . Find a more productive activity to earn your pay, you PIGS.

Awesome use of resources! Nice to see some single moms will get there back child support that is needed. A public icon like Ozzy should not be condoning the actions that were taken that day. Bad PR….

This was great, Paul Laney is a great sheriff, like he said, crimminals find creative ways to avoid the law, he found a creative way to arrest them!! Very Creative… too bad things like this don’t happen more often!

hu | 11/3/2007, 12:43 pm EST

Hi: I figure if ya make the kids, ya gotta pay for ‘em! If ya hurt somebody, take care of it and make things right…I’d like to think most real Ozzie fans step up to their responsibilities…These jerks aren’t fans….~JBK

I like this idea. In fact, we should take it one step further. Ozzy fans are such retarded fucking assholes, we should have them randomly arrested, then shot on site just for paying money to see Ozzy’s old, retarded, played out ass. Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do…. FREEZE!!!… YOU FUCKING DUMB ASS OZZY FAN!!! YOU’RE GOING DOWN!

First of all, cops ususally don’t have much trouble catching criminals. The main reason is that the majority of the crooks are idiots with below room-temperature IQ’s. Secondly, for those who thinks the cops are lazy- you are insane. This sting was a quick way to catch all the trash in one sweep rather than making several trips to the garbage can with the same refuse. Sorry, liberals and cop-haters- it is not entrapment either- although I am surprised that some of those angry at the Sheriff’s actions knew such a big word. I am always amazed that people are more upset as to how law breakers are caught then worried about what crimes they committed. Lastly, if it irritates the libs- it warms my heart. I hate criminals. They are sociological pus that any decent society should want locked-up or dependent upon the crime, eliminated.
