WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A special prosecutor was telling a judge he’d cleared him of theft for taking a college student’s ringing cell phone during a class when, uh oh, the prosecutor’s cell phone started ringing. Special Prosecutor Rob Ives quickly left the room, but the sign on the courtroom wall states clearly that cell phones must be turned off, and all the other lawyers looked to see how Superior Court Judge Les Meade would react to Ives’ infraction. It turns out Meade liked his ring tone - “I Fought the Law (and the Law Won).” “It was the perfect ending to this little annoyance,” Meade said. Six weeks ago, Meade was teaching a business law class at Purdue University when a student’s cell phone began ringing. Meade took away the student’s phone after he said the student failed to turn it off promptly. Meade said he intended to turn it over to the dean’s office the next morning. But the student, in a hurry to get his phone back, called Purdue police. Officers told Meade if he failed to return the phone to the student his refusal would constitute theft. While Meade was talking with the cops, Richard Cosier, dean of Purdue’s School of Management, arrived and took the phone. He returned it to the student after lecturing him about rules against using cell phones during class.
