A Burlington, Iowa man’s “corny” overtures didn’t go over so well with local police. Daniel Eugene Wilson, 47, was arrested recently after police allege he impersonated an officer and made harassing phone calls to a former girlfriend. The woman involved has also accused Wilson of “corning” – or throwing ears of corn – at her home.

Police honed in on Wilson after his former girlfriend called the police claiming he had been calling and chucking ears of corn at her house. Wilson was arrested near the woman’s home after a brief chase, police said.

Once Wilson was caught, the woman and other witnesses told investigators he had left a message on an answering machine saying he was a Burlington police officer. Officers listened to the taped message and arrested Wilson.
