OHIO WOMAN ACCUSED OF RELEASING FORTY CRICKETS INSIDE A DMV TO SPEED UP THE LINE
OHIO WOMAN ACCUSED OF RELEASING FORTY CRICKETS INSIDE A DMV TO SPEED UP THE LINE WILLOW BANKS, OH — Tanya Ferraro, 37, was arrested Wednesday after officials say she released roughly 40 live crickets inside a crowded DMV office, later telling investigators she had simply wanted the line to move faster. Staff say the crickets were carried in inside a plastic food container hidden in a tote bag and released near the ticket kiosk at 10:14 a.m. Investigators say the plan worked, briefly: Wait times reportedly dropped as roughly 30 people abandoned the building entirely She had purchased the crickets from a pet supply store two days earlier Staff recovered the empty container in a trash can beside the number dispenser Three employees stood on chairs, according to the incident report filed afterward She had waited 94 minutes before releasing them, based on her printed ticket A receipt in her purse listed the purchase as "40 count, live, medium" She told officers she had "considered other options" and chose the quietest one Other customers reportedly walked directly up to the open counters once the room had fully cleared out. "She was called to window four eleven minutes later. The plan functioned," said DMV branch supervisor Gail Northcutt, who has worked the office for 24 years. "That does not make it legal. It just makes it effective." The empty plastic container, now in evidence, declined to comment. She only wanted her turn. She cleared the whole room to get it.
