SALEM, Ohio (WKBN) – A Salem man tried to get out of a probation hearing by using a doctor’s excuse that police said he wrote himself.
This is what was written in the letter:

Troy Hightland, 30, of West Wilson Avenue, faxed the handwritten letter to the Columbiana County Municipal Court on June 10. The letter came from a Dr. Wong and had several spelling errors, including “patients” and “type,” according to our print partner, the Lisbon Morning Journal.
