Judge Isaac H. Stoltzfus was charged with disorderly conduct after he apparently gave acorns to women that housed condoms.

A low-level case judge in Lancaster County, the 58-year-old’s office refused to comment and instead referred questions to defence attorney Heidi Eakin, who failed to return a phone message.

Officials told Lancaster County’s local paper, Lancaster Online, that the shamed judge admitted to police the act was done as a prank.


Edward Myslewicz, a spokesman for the Department of General Services, told Lancaster Online: ‘An individual was handing out acorns to some women who were offended when they discovered the contents in the acorn included a condom.



‘Upon receiving this complain, Capitol Police did go to the Soldiers Grove, where they found the suspect, who admitted doing it as a joke.’

Though it still remains unclear how Stoltzfus hid the condoms in the acorns, police are apparently holding on to a few of the unopened nuts for evidence.
