He’s not having a ball for some time
`A Duluth man with a sexual fetish for large rubber exercise balls was sentenced to probation Thursday.
Christopher Neil Bjerkness, 27, pleaded guilty to criminal damage to property and third-degree burglary. [..]
Bjerkness admitted to using a knife to damage about 72 exercise balls on three occasions last year at the University of Minnesota Duluth Sports and Health Center. The different sized balls were valued at $30 to $60 each.
Bjerkness also admitted to using a knife to slash at least 20 fitness balls at the St. Mary’s Duluth Clinic Center for Personal Fitness. He said he entered the center by jimmying a locked door with his knife. [..]
According to court documents, Bjerkness told Duluth police he slashed the rubber balls to satisfy a sexual urge. He said he popped some of them with his hands.’

“Judge not, lest ye be judged”. This person was off his medication at the time he did these criminal acts. He is on Depakote for Clinical Depression, and at the time his Medical Assistance had ended, so he was unable to get the prescription refilled. I know this person quite well, he has a kind heart and is very caring. He just has a penchant for mayhem.
