movieguy Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Man Admits to Vaseline Vandalism in N.Y. By Associated Press December 7, 2004, 1:17 PM EST BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- A Virginia man admitted Monday to smearing 14 jars of petroleum jelly all over an upstate New York motel room. Robert F. Chamberlain, 45, of McLean, gave no reason for his actions when he appeared in court to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief. A Broome County judge sentenced Chamberlain to three years of probation and ordered him to pay $3,886 in damages to the Motel 6 in Chenango. Authorities said Chamberlain coated every object of the motel room with petroleum jelly in May. A cleaning crew discovered the mess after he checked out, and he was arrested at another motel covered in the greasy stuff. Chamberlain declined comment after the proceedings.
