Back in September, we reported on a Virginia gym teacher who cut off several inches of a woman’s hair without her consent. Two months later, a sentence has finally been handed down and it’s a haircut for a haircut.
Melvin D. Hunt will have to take the shears to his own head as retribution. During a heading in court on Friday, the 61-year-old man admitted to the assault and agreed to shave his melon for the next six months as a sentence for the criminal coif.
Hunt will have until December 1 to put razor to scalp.
“It’s akin to the cases where someone steals something from a store or damages or defaces somebody’s property, (and the court requires) they wear a sandwich board out in front and say, ‘Here I am, I did these things and I’m sorry,'” Chesterfield prosecutor Larry Hogan told reporters.
Does the hair-raising punishment fit the crime? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
