Alternate Lede for Express

Today's issue of Express (a publication of The Washington Post) covered the non-sports-related Ultimate news. While the news byte is a perfect topic for eyeopeners, the headline "Ultimate Frisbee tournaments are known havens for criminals" lacks creative punch that reads are accustomed to.

From page 2 of Express
Some alternate ledes:
Police make great catch at Ultimate Frisbee tournament.

Bank robber to get tossed into jail after tossing at Ultimate Frisbee tournament.

Handcuffs are the ultimate defense at Ultimate Frisbee tournament.
