Butt Slap Lands Pair In Hot Water

Item: Bike rider doesn't appreciate slap: Cd'A man cited for battery for allegedly swatting biker/Tom Greene, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: In all her years and miles of biking, Jennifer Gaertner has been yelled at, honked at and flipped off. But she said what happened Saturday was a first: Slapped on the butt. "It didn't hurt me so much as startle me," Gaertner said. A Coeur d'Alene man was ticketed for the high-speed harassment case this week in Athol. Justin Thomas Solomon, 24, was cited for misdemeanor battery on Saturday after allegedly slapping Gaertner on her buttocks while she rode her bicycle on Brunner Road.

Question: What should be done with the two rocket scientists in the pickup?
