Truth in Headlines

Headline: Woman arrested for not watering lawn.

What actually happened:
A widow and grandma spent the morning in jail, arrested for refusing to give a policeman her name when he tried writing her a ticket for failing to water her yard. The woman hasn't watered her lawn in more than a year, and the condition of her yard violates an Orem zoning ordinance. That's Sam Penrod reporting for KSL TV.(via Fark)


And who says yellow journalism is dead?
