That was his job when he still worked. He is on SSI and has been for 20 years. His traveling is all done on the internet.

A .A trial is set this afternoon for a City-County Council member accused of shoving a police officer outside her home last year.
Doris Minton-McNeill, 52, who has denied the accusation, is charged with one felony count of battery and three misdemeanor counts of resisting law enforcement in a case handled by a special prosecutor from Southern Indiana.

The Democrat represents District 15, which stretches north and west from Downtown Indianapolis.
Minton-McNeill's trial is set for 1:30 p.m. in Marion Superior Court, Room 24. If convicted of the felony, she would be disqualified from holding elected office.
The incident, which led to Minton-McNeill's arrest, occurred in June 2008 in Minton-McNeill's backyard in the 2000 block of Medford Avenue.
A police affidavit says Minton-McNeill swore at officers, called them racists and told them she couldn't be arrested because she was on the council. Police said Minton-McNeill pushed officer Emily Perkins, causing her to fall back and strike her left hand on the house. Her injuries were minor.
"I was angry and I was upset, but I did not batter anybody," Minton-McNeill said in October after Special Prosecutor James Oliver, the Brown County prosecutor, filed charges.
Minton-McNeill had called 911 to report an unwanted visitor carrying a knife. She later argued with police as they asked repeatedly for the location of the man, who apparently was gone, the affidavit says. Officers sent to her home said they smelled alcohol on her breath.
