Arrested For A Brown Lawn
September 24th, 2007 by AnneBetty Perry, a 70 year old woman, was arrested and charged with 2 misdemeanors for resisting arrest and failing to maintain her landscaping. An officer came to her house, she refused to give him her name, and during a struggle she fell and hit her nose. She spent more than an hour in a holding cell before being released.
The mayor apologized, and the police department said the situation could have been handled differently. But the city attorney still is pressing charges.
Perry’s water had been turned off for about nine months, at her request. Orem has a shut-off policy for people who are away for extended periods. However, she was living at the house at the time of the arrest.
