This is True

A Kodak Moment

Myko Kona, 30, was walking to work in Redondo Beach, Calif., when Jimmy Robert Jewell, 33, “flashed” her. She flashed back at the naked man with a disposable camera she had in her purse. “I pulled it up as fast as I could, and I just took the picture,” Kona said. Jewell didn’t like that — “He went ballistic,” she said. He tried to grab the camera away from her, but she got away, and even got a picture of his van, complete with the license plate, as he tried to run her over to stop her. Shown the evidence, Jewell pleaded guilty to charges of assault with a deadly weapon (for trying to run Kona over) and indecent exposure. “The license plate number is crystal clear, and his picture is crystal clear,” a police investigator said of the photos. (AP) ...He was overexposed, not the pictures.
