Grand Prairie, TX — A hard-working Texas man was thrown in jail after a warrant was issued for his arrest for an overgrown lawn.
Protecting and Serving Texas Man Thrown in Jail for Weeks because his Lawn was Overgrown The Free Thought Project
Rick Yoes is the campus electrician for Tarrant County College and usually works from before sun-up to after sun-down.
In September of last year, he and his daughter had been hard at work and were unable to cut the lawn on their Grand Prairie home. The local government then claimed that because Yoes could not mow hiss lawn, he now owed them $1,700 for his grass that achieved a height of over six inches.
1700$ only because you didn't cut the lawn... Damn, i understand that some stupid laws were "born" because there were incidents(Of course i'm talking about stupid laws, like Alabama's prohibition on playing dominoes on sunday)
This guy is just average worker, just average citizen who wanna live good, but should work on bad job to earn some... Why government is spitting in his face?
