steroge discovered 12 months ago- Woman jailed for 'neglected' lawn A 70-year-old US 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.

- HAHA I love this story. This crazy circumstance was almost surreal to me. Why? Betty was my babysitter when I was a kid! You can imagine how shocked I was to see her face pop up on national news channels around the world. Truly bizarre stuff.

- Who knows what happened. What I'm wondering is why the heck is it a law to water your lawn?

- Insane. The person who hurt her should be jailed. This is how we treat our elders in America now.

- Woman jailed for 'neglected' lawn 8 July 2007 A 70-year-old US 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 Utah 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." ... Why did the asshole have handcuffs out if all he was going to do was give her a 'caution?' Why is the asshole going unnamed? His name should be shouted from the rooftops. How much you wanna bet that pig is a mor(m)on and Ms Perry isn't?

- From the page: "A 70-year-old US 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." But wait, it gets better/morbidly funnier! ""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."

- Woman jailed for 'neglected' lawn. What "Milander27" said!!!

- This is absolutely ridiculous, for one thing trying to caution/arrest someone because their lawn is dried up is idiotic and then actually having a city ordinance requiring people to keep it green and beautiful despit the fact Utah is one of the driest states in the US is insane! One more example of American idiocy to add to the already swelling bag.
