Sandusky, Ohio, USA

John Hamilton plans to fight the charges against him.

Authorities arrested Hamilton at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday as the 48-year-old was mowing the foot-high grass in the city park. Police charged him with obstructing official business and persistent disorderly conduct.

He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. His next hearing is scheduled for August.

"I am a citizen," he said.
