Location: 254.45 miles from Tiverton, Devon (ENGLAND) Rep Power: 9  Gender:  Country:  | Woman jailed for 'neglected' lawn A 70-year-old Utah woman has been left bruised and bloody after an unexpected clash with police who came to arrest her because her lawn was dry and brown. Trouble flared when pensioner Betty Perry, 70, refused to give her name to an officer trying to caution her for not watering her lawn. She says the officer hit her with handcuffs, cutting her nose, although police insist she slipped and fell. Ms Perry said she was "distraught" after the incident. She denied that she was resisting arrest, maintaining that she turned to go inside to call her son to fix the confusing dispute. "I tried to sit down and get away from him," she told Utah newspaper the Daily Herald. "I don't know what he's doing. I said: 'What are you doing?' And he hit me with those handcuffs in my face," she said. "He's just trying to cover his tracks, as far as I'm concerned." Set free The officer had judged that Ms Perry's "sadly neglected and dying landscape" breached an Orem city guideline and was attempting to issue a formal caution when the 70-year-old was injured. She was treated in a local hospital for the cut to her nose and for other bruises before being taken to jail. But she was let go when police realised there were "other ways" of finding out her identity without taking her to jail, a police spokesman said. The arresting officer has not been named but has been placed on administrative leave, he added. Ms Perry, who says she has never had a run-in with police in the past, has been offered help by local church leaders to clean up her garden. "I'm very distraught over all this," she said. "I can't believe this happened. Do you ever just wish you could start your day over and it would all be different?" __________________ "Artificial Intelligence usually beats natural stupidity." | ||||||||

Location: @home Rep Power: 8 Gender: Country:  | Not on the wet grass. Around here, they get on our case if we are watering out side of the designated hours on the designated days. If you plant new grass, you have to pay $50/7 days to water each day and are restricted to watering some time in the morning and evening. go figure, besides, what is Quote:

Location: The monkey's hole Rep Power: 7 Gender: Country: | I need to move to this city. My neighbor does good to whack his weeds down once every month or so. Perhaps I could probably arrange for him to slip and fall on a pair of handcuffs... | ||||||||

I think we're trying for the wettest year on record this year! __________________ "Artificial Intelligence usually beats natural stupidity." | ||||||||
