You Better Water Your Lawn In Orem City, UT

Water your lawn or go to jailLiving in Georgia we seem to be on perpetual water restrictions, but for 70 year old Betty Perry of Oram City, Utah she was arrested and thrown in jail for failing to keep her lawn watered. Showing cuts on her face the lady was arrested and plead innocent to the charges.

I would hate to see what happens to jay walkers in this town.

Betty Perry pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges she failed to water her lawn and resisted arrest when an officer attempted to cite her.
Perry appeared in 4th District Court in Orem to enter her plea in a case prominent Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred described as a gross injustice.
“Today, law enforcement in Orem has enshrined itself as the laughing stock of our country by prosecuting a 70-year-old great-grandmother for allegedly not watering her lawn,” Allred said. “This ill-conceived action ensures Orem’s law enforcement authorities first place in the [Guinness World Records] for stupidity.” via Salt Lake Tribune
