A Cosmopolitan Approach to Revenge

PAINESVILLE, Ohio — If someone got Penny Page angry, she signed them up for magazine subscriptions by the hundreds. The tactic prompted a judge to send her to jail for two months on forgery charges.

Page, 46, sent 350 subscriptions to a job counselor, a landlord and a neighbor. She pleaded guilty last month to four felony counts of forgery for signing her enemies’ names on subscriptions.

“I don’t think you realize the gravity of the situation,” Judge Paul Mitrovich said Wednesday when he also placed her on probation for three years and ordered her to take an anger management class.

Page apologized, saying: “I’m not a vicious person.”
