LENOIR CITY, Tennessee — A judge in Tennessee gave a woman a reduced six-hour jail sentence because she failed to keep her lawn mowed according to standards set forth by city ordinance.
Karen Holloway first recieved a citation from Lenoir City over the summer, indicating that her lawn wasn’t maintained properly. At a hearing last week, Judge Terry Vann sentenced her to five days in a local jail for the offense.
“It’s not right,” Holloway told WLTV. “Why would you put me in jail with child molesters, and people who’ve done real crimes, because I haven’t maintained my yard.”
