Woman Arrested, Cuffed for Eating Candy
A woman was arrested, and cuffed for eating candy at a subway station. Just in case you thought the Los Angles police had a monopoly on heavy handedness.A government scientist finishing a candy bar on her way into a subway station where eating is prohibited was arrested, handcuffed and detained for three hours by transit police.
Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her to finish it before entering the station. Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.
Willett, a 45-year-old Environmental Protection Agency (news - web sites) scientist, told radio station WTOP that the officer then followed her into the station, one of several in downtown Washington.
"Don't you have some other crimes you have to take care of?" Willett said she told the officer.
Washington has been under heightened security because of the continuing threat of terrorism. And last week, police declared a citywide crime emergency over rising juvenile crime.
Is it me or is heavy handed abusive cop story's not being met with outrage anymore. Boston with their concentration camps. LA cops beating the guy with the flashlight. A few years ago after the Rodney King affair The citizens rebelled. Today they roll over and beg the nice policeman not to hurt them. Who is running these towns? The police or the citizens? And what is with this no eating ban?
