Forbidden Fruit
It all went horribly wrong for Kate Badger of Wolverhamption (now a suburb of Birmingham) the day she sent an apple core out of the window of her car.
Ms Badger, a mother of three children, has been charged with: "Knowingly causing the deposit of controlled waste namely an apple core on land which did not have a waste management licence".
If convicted, this 26-year-old mother could be fined £20,000 or be imprisioned for six months.
A latest report by an alert local journalist of this 'crime', states that a council worker recorded the registration number of her vehicle and sent a message to Wolverhampton town hall officials.
(Why not go in person ? Too busy ?) These days this sort of behaviour is termed 'civic duty'.
I ask you to pray that Kate Badger will not be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure.
