Repairing potholes can be a never ending job for road crews. Police in Jackson, Mississippi have questioned Ron Chane aka the “Pothole Robin Hood” after he admitted to ‘borrowing’ asphalt from the city’s road-repair reserves, to fill potholes plaguing the streets. The city’s response: The Mayor of Jackson is “supportive (of) people making improvements to the community…(but stealing) the city’s resources without going through the proper legal channels…(not good).” The Pothole Robin Hood’s actions are currently under investigation, though no charges have been filed. http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/15/street-mending-robin-hood-steals-from-city-gives-to-potholes/#ixzz2Z71MFTsK
