CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

For taking off-fence...

A Worthing woman was recently visited by cops when her neighbour’s flimsy bamboo screen blew down during heavy wind in the night. The neighbour complained to the police that the woman had deliberately sabotaged the fence. The police turned up and told the woman she would have to turn up to the police station and be arrested at a later date.

Luckily she was clued up and managed to persuade the police that she could in fact attend the police station on a voluntary basis – and therefore not have to go through the whole hassle of fingerprints, DNA and photo being taken and being on the police record as a potential vandal for the rest of her life.

She said “Everyone I spoke to said there must be some mistake, they can’t do that. But they can.” No further action was taken against the woman. (For the full story see www.eco-action.org/porkbolter)
