One from England now...

Keith Hurst spent 18 hours in a police cell after allegedly dropping an apple core as he went to the pharmacy to get something for his wife. He was arrested by a Police Community Support Officer (aka pretend policeman) but refused to pay the on the spot fine of £50 (that's $100, give or take). British police are nothing if not persistent though, when Hurst left the pharmacy, five (yes that's 5) policemen were waiting for him.

He had his fingerprints taken and appeared in court, charged with littering and obstructing a police officer. The obstruction charge was dropped, but Hurst will go on trial for the littering. Personally, I believe this man should be compensated for taking the time to plant a new apple tree.
