The Law and the Lawn Mowing Bad Boy

As Collin left the house a little over a hour ago to tend to his lawn mowing business...I had no idea that when he came back he would be a wanted man...a lawn mowing fugitive wanted by the law....my very own bad boy...it was a scene right out of the Cops TV show....Cheyenne style...wow a Fireman turned law breaking lawn mowing bad boy....he stated as soon as he saw the five O coming down the alley that they were coming for him...with no place to mow....he surrendered on the spot....the criminal in him played it cool...and he got off with a warning....Collin was caught doing a little illegal dumping...he was cleaning up a commercial property....their dumpster was full so he was using the other business's dumpster....when my jail bird made it home....I knew immediately something was wrong....as he told me what happened....I began to laugh uncontrollably....he was quite upset that he got reprimanded...and finished by saying that he knew that I would find it quite funny...I can just see his eyes getting wide and the sweat rolling off his forehead as the cops rolled up to the scene of the crime...I am sure that if it was anyone else they probably would have been cited but Collin has such a kind and honest way about him.....it would be like doing a strip search on your grandma...it just wasn't going to happen...I think that is what I found the funniest...was Collin's concern about being caught and I guess me knowing that he is such a nice guy that most cops would let him go....and with that let this be a lesson for all of you...the next time you have a little garbage and looking for a place to dump it....remember this story....most of you won't be as lucky as my Lawn Mowing Bad Boy
