Ramsey Ricket was one of the meanest people in Bloomville. He insulted people, made faces at people, and did everything he could to make people miserable. He was caught throwing eggs at a school on Halloween. Several witnesses saw him. The eggs did a lot of damage including breaking four windows and staining a large sign on the front of the school. He was arrested right after the incident.  The mayor announced that since there were so many witnesses there was no need for a trial. He also stated that a trial would cost Bloomville money and Ramsey Ricket didn’t deserve to have any money spent on him.
