    Good Samaritan arrested for mowing city park

    http://www.sanduskyregister.com/arti...e192098860.txt

    John Hamilton plans to fight the charges against him.

    Authorities arrested Hamilton at 8:30 a.m. Thursday as the 48-year-old mowed the foot-high grass at Central Park. Police charged the Sunset Drive resident with obstructing official business and persistent disorderly conduct.

    He pleaded not guilty at his Sandusky Municipal Court arraignment this morning. His next hearing is scheduled for August.

    "I am a citizen," he said.

      I was just about to open a thread and ask:

      Is it common for people to mow their lawn at 7am on Sunday?

      I mean, saturday and sunday, I have two neighbors that mow their lawns at 7am. I couldn't sleep through it if I wanted.

      Pisses me off to no end.

          I clicked the link expecting more but it seems you've posted the whole article.

          He must have done more than mowed some grass.

              I doubt it. Or maybe he just did not stop when asked.

                  John Hamilton of Sandusky says on Thursday the grass in Sandusky Central Park was over 12 inches long. He decided to take up the task at cutting it after driving around his city and seeing how long the grass was in vacant lots and in public parks. He was also inspired by Toledo's mayor, who spent his time off cutting the grass in his local parks.

                  "I was only trying to save the city some money," said Hamilton to FOX 8 in Cleveland. As Hamilton was cutting the grass, city workers attempted to stop him, showing him a list of lawns there were going to cut, including the one he was mowing. Hamilton told the worker to go cut another lawn while he finished cutting the one in Sandusky Central Park.

                  A short time later, police arrived on the scene and told Hamilton to stop cutting the grass. When he refused, police verbally warned him. When he refused a second time, police arrested him and charged him with obstruction and disorderly conduct.
                  http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-news-ar...,7094398.story

                  On Thursday morning it bothered him seeing children waiting for a school bus at Central park, where the grass was more than a foot high. So he went to a shop he shares with his brother, got his riding mower and set out to make the park look better. "We have some really beautiful parks here in Sandusky" he told Fox 8 "I was only trying to save the city some money."

                  As he started cutting the grass, however, Hamilton says a city worker who saw him there went over to ask him to stop. He says the employee showed him a list of places they were preparing to cut the grass themselves. "I told them to go ahead and do the others and I'll do this one".

                  Moments later police showed up.

                  Hamilton admits police asked him to stop, but he told them how frustrated he was with the way the parks look and that he wanted to continue. "They said they empathize with my concerns" but as John continued to cut the grass against their wishes he officers contacted their superior officer, who told them to issue one more warning and then if John continued to arrest him for persistent disorderly conduct and obstructing official business.

                          funny, 60 miles from there in Toledo, the mayor cuts grass on the weekends and asks the citizens to also because the city is broke

                              Looks like he was told more than once to stop mowing. He chose to ignore the cop.

                                  I bet the city workers were worried they'd lose their jobs if citizens started cutting the grass for them hahahah. But the cops should have better things to do, wtf

                                      Tough situation though. And by tough, I mean stupid.

                                      Yet another situation where law is applied without due regard for intent [the very foundation of civil law]

                                          Good, he sounds like a fucking annoying idiot who needs some hobbies.

                                          What's he going to do next start painting traffic lights pink because he wants them that color?

                                              Clearly the city is lacking on maintaining their parks, why not just hire the guy to do it for them?

                                                              lol its funny because the cops must have never though what if we just let this guy go ahead and finish cutting the grass? then there wouldn't be costs of them filling out reports, taking the negative press about it, court costs for any proceedings and all that. and they would have had cut grass. wtf? just let the guy finish cutting the grass and call it a day

Accidents happen that's why companies get bonded and insured. Maybe this is too deep for you to understand. You would be the first one saying what an idiot the guy was for doing this if something went wrong in the process.

I understand their position, but honestly I don't think a job like cutting grass should be a unionized city job. It should be a contract job where people of all sorts can submit bids on the project, which would save a tremendous amount of money.

                                                                                                  This guy should get an award for stepping up and doing what needs to be done instead of sitting idly by watching what needs to be done and saying "this should be handled." My hat is off to him.

                                                                                                      Is it common for people to mow their lawn at 7am on Sunday?

                                                                                                      I mean, saturday and sunday, I have two neighbors that mow their lawns at 7am. I couldn't sleep through it if I wanted.

                                                                                                      Pisses me off to no end.

                                                                                                                  I am just taking the other side for arguments sake. This is an isolated incident but if these types of actions were widespread there would be all kinds of problems created by people just deciding to take things upon themselves. I am all for the protest. I think government workers are overpaid and underworked but it's not the cops fault for doing what they are supposed to do.

Whether it be mowing, video taping a crime or preventing a major felony in any manner necessary, a government's obligations ARE NOT abrogated because of a lack of funds. The police involved in this incident should be reprimanded and assigned to much higher priority tasks, such as doing everything possible to prevent and prosecute crimes against law-abiding citizens."

Whether it be mowing, video taping a crime or preventing a major felony in any manner necessary, a government's obligations ARE NOT abrogated because of a lack of funds. The police involved in this incident should be reprimanded and assigned to much higher priority tasks, such as doing everything possible to prevent and prosecute crimes against law-abiding citizens."

                                                                                                                                              I mean, saturday and sunday, I have two neighbors that mow their lawns at 7am. I couldn't sleep through it if I wanted.

                                                                                                                                              Pisses me off to no end.

Personal injury? Accidents happen that's why companies get bonded and insured. Maybe this is too deep for you to understand. You would be the first one saying what an idiot the guy was for doing this if something went wrong in the process.

Besides, can you imagine if everyone decided to do whatever they wanted with the city's landscaping?

I get maybe that he should stopped when asked... but seriously...

If you were that cop... would you arrest the guy for mowing a park? only because another guy comes along and says hey, that guy is doing my job...

                                                                                                                                                                                              You don't just go on your own and maintain public property. You can't assume everyone has the same idea about what is proper maintenance.

                                                                                                                                                                                              The analogy highlighted a situation where an individual took it upon themselves to alter public property without permission, very simply.
