Ohio attorney suspended over pooping in a Pringles can has license reinstated
NEWSOnce you pop..
That’s not the only thing that dropped!
This is the guy that kept Balboni from doing life in prison. Real Columbus hero
Who? Balboni?
You got a link?
I can't tell if it's really a prank or just a a good cover story for incontinence.
As someone that knows him personally, and has used his services, he’s exactly as you’d imagine. A guy that shits in a pringles can. Total asshat and an attorney that basically spends his time with indigent clients and doing nothing other than the bare minimum so he can get the county or state money.
I have no idea what a person who shits in a Pringles xan wouls be like. I cant imagine it.
I live in the same town as he does. That's only the tip of the iceberg for things he's done. He's definitely poop-centric though because at one point he was pooping in the middle of the road that leads past his house. The sheriff at the time basically said "It's technically not illegal so watch your tires"
Any more 🫖?
Isn’t that the same sheriff that got arrested though?
The one after him
Jack is a total piece of shit. Just need a pringles can large enough to shove him into.
Did he shake it out of his pants leg or something? Wouldn't some kind of indecent exposure be involved at least? Or I guess it's cool if no one sees?
It's a rural spot but there is traffic. Guess no one has driven by during the act so to speak.
Really? Not public indecency or something? I’m shocked lol.

The Ohio attorney who was disciplined for pooping in a Pringles can and tossing it into a parking lot got his law license reinstated on Tuesday.
Jack Blakeslee, of Noble County, finished serving his six-month sanction that the Ohio Supreme Court imposed in November. The court said Tuesday that Blakeslee had complied with the conditions, including no further misconduct, to get his license back.
In November 2021, surveillance cameras recorded footage of Blakeslee, a criminal defense attorney, dropping a Pringles potato chip can into the parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center. The can contained human feces.
Blakeslee's behavior called into question his fitness to practice law, the Ohio Supreme Court decided in November.
During the disciplinary process, Blakeslee claimed he didn't target anyone and said he pulled the Pringles prank at least 10 times that year.
Blakeslee had known the victim advocates at the center for years and was scheduled to see them in court 15 minutes after the Pringles deposit. At the time, Blakeslee was representing someone accused in a capital murder case.
Blakeslee, an attorney since 1976, had no other discipline on his record.
During the disciplinary process, Blakeslee claimed he didn't target anyone and said he pulled the Pringles prank at least 10 times that year.
FFS what attorney doesn't know the basic premise of the 5th fucking amendment??
I’m on a rollercoaster here.
Poop in a pringles can. This guy fuckin rocks.
Crime Victims advocate center. Ok maybe not so cool.
lol this is where his brain splits from info learned in school and on cases to pure arrogance "hah I got away with it". the same type of pride that gets murderers and other criminals caught because they just can't help but brag. Apparently it overrides any sense of logic or think before you speak
They don’t have that right in disciplinary proceedings. And if you don’t cooperate you’re punished more severely.
Ah, someone has been interviewed by ODC before, I see.
If you’re licensed and don’t know something as basic as the 5thA doesn’t apply and you must cooperate you’re pretty likely to learn the hard way at some point in your career.
It was a joke dude, chill. I am well aware of the limits of 5th amendment protections and professional duty to cooperate.
YOU THINK THIS IS BAD! THIS CHICANERY?!
Let he who has not shit in a pringles can cast the first stone
On my way
The arrival states he pulled the Pringles poop prank “10 times this year”. This guy shat into a Pringle’s can, at the very least, 10 f-times this year alone. This isn’t a prank, it’s a fetish.
Wtf, please take his license away again.
I'm afraid that at this point his fun won't stop.
Pringles lawyer can practice law. Magnetic spoon doctor can practice medicine. Yikes.
It's depressing. Or maybe just for me, lol.
It’s horrifying. Neither of these individuals should be working in their field.
100% agree! We're living in strange times. There is no such thing as shame or honor these days.
So, so true
It says a lot about his decision making ability.
But what does that say about your priority making ability?
If someone believes his stupid ass pranks are a real problem, then they can have him evaluated by a shrink. As a publicly licensed profession, I imagine they could come up with an evaluation to whether he is fit.
Spoiler: he is. "Blakeslee, an attorney since 1976, had no other discipline on his record."
Chill.
I mean they suspended his license over this, that he’s been doing it many times without getting caught is concerning. This is absolutely a C&F issue for the bar
LOL one shit, ten shits, irrelevant. If THAT was the real problem they would have mandated counseling or something.
The real problem is that he was doing something intimidating or aggressive toward opposing (counsel?). He could have been sending flowers for all it matters. It was targeted, and that’s the problem.
Everyone up in here saying that shit in cans = suspension need to chill out. Being gross does not equal disbarment.
I mean it reflects poorly on the profession. You get a certain amount of leeway to do stuff that reflects poorly if you’re doing something political. But when it comes to harassing witnesses and throwing your shit around that shouldn’t be tolerated in the legal profession
You don’t see an issue with a criminal attorney targeting victims like that?
ah so this is why "it's just a prank bro" continues on
Honestly, that's pretty good aim. I think a Pringles can would be pretty low on my list of emergency...uhhh...vessels... to poop into.
One thing that's not mentioned here yet is the org he was caught was throwing the feces full pringles cans was Haven of Hope an org that helps women and children who are victims of sexual or domestic abuse.
I think throwing shit is pretty absurd and terrible, but throwing shit at a women's shelter is on another level of deplorable.
Edit, here's a source for an article where it mentions the org he was caught targeting. Before anyone asks.
Is that a license to poop in Pringles cans again? What was he doing wrong to lose it? 🤣
Nobody’s gonna talk about the accuracy needed to execute this?
Well that headline was a roller coaster
Once you pop, gotta poop!
Thought this was r/nottheonion at first
The guy knows his shit though.
Let em live
How is that even a prank!? He has serious issues.
I have a new favorite headline. Thank you.
God Bless whoever found that pringles can…
This is a very weird bonus chorus to the Bo Burnham song.
Wonder if the Ten Commandments were posted in his classrooms as a wee lad? /s
There’s the headline of the Week! 😅
This was not on my bingo card
You’d think the “journalist” (and I use that term very loosely) would use a more professional word than “pooping”.
Hey, shit happens!
So dude has been an attorney since 1976. If he was became an attorney even at 18 years old as a boy genius, he would be 66 years old.
My man is in his 70s and dropping Pringle shits in the parking lot.
