When Republican state senator Jay Hottinger entered politics, he probably knew he’d make enemies if only due to ideological differences. However, Hottinger never could have expected to be the victim of his own party. When Ohio Republican state senators were attending a meeting at a lodge about a mile away, some pranksters snuck out at night and toilet-papered Rep. Hottinger’s house. A group of about 8 or 9 Republican state senators from Ohio toilet-papered Rep. Jay Hottinger’s house, car, and fence in a surprisingly epic prank for a bunch of politicians.
“I knew Mark was behind it because he had asked me what my address was,” said Hottinger, a Republican representative from Newark, Ohio. Laughed Rep. Hottinger, “I’ve got three daughters, ages 15, 13 and 9, in high school, middle school and elementary school. I always expected the house would be toilet-papered, but I didn’t think it would be by my colleagues.”
“I was not one of the people who did the toilet-papering, although I did help get the toilet paper,” admitted accused ringleader Mark Wagoner, a Republican from Ottawa Hills. “Jay is a good friend. I served with Jay in both the House and the Senate. He lives about a mile away from the lodge we were at. I know they did it late at night. It was all in good fun and Jay was laughing about it next morning.”
