CONWAY, Ark. - A farmer who dumped three tons of manure on the route of a gay pride parade to protest the event was found guilty Thursday of misdemeanor harassment.
Wesley Bono, 35, was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but the judge suspended the sentence as long as Bono makes regular payments for restitution and court costs.
Bono admitted spreading the manure along two city streets and in front of a gay couple's home. He pleaded innocent Aug. 2, claiming he was exercising his right of free speech.
