Lettuce Tossed From Car Costs Woman $173.50
From Times Wire Reports
A woman was fined $173.50 in Easton for throwing lettuce out of her car.
Dawn Higgins, 47, was cited while parked outside a Wal-Mart eating a salad.
“Lettuce comes from the ground, therefore it can go back into the ground,” she said. “It’s biodegradable. I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong.”
Higgins has appealed the fine to Northampton County Court.
