Wow Only in Alabama

What an embarrassment that state is

This is insane.

I have never heard of being arrested for not paying a Bill.

How not tickets get real... Fail to pay parking tickets. Fail to respond to certified letter. Fail to respond to summons. Fail to respond to 2nd and 3rd summons. Fail to open door for arrest warrant. Fail to open door for 2nd and 3rd attempt. Resist arrest. Pull handgun. Die.

Has CBS jumped in and payed the bills for her?

she's 82..wtf..maybe..just maybe..she is having financial issues

Sounds ridiculous

How sad

We exist to create.

That's all she had

Unbelievable

CB

What kinda sick shit is that she 82 probably forgot to pay it. You not putting Biden in jail hell he forgets everything had one job and messed it all up for everyone.

The South is TRASH🖕🏼

Murica

So you all think the trash collectors are her slaves b/c she's old?

Sounds like a wise use of government resources. Arrest a senior citizen for not paying their garbage bill. How about some decent human being paying it for her?

Per NBC. The first time she didn’t pay was in 2006. She would of been 66 years old. The balance was $206.54 it was dismissed “upon compliance. The balance currently was only $76. Good Lord Seriously. To pick on an Elderly Woman over a $76 garbage bill. SMH.

OMG

The garbage pick-up should be in the tax bill, like normal places do

Unconstitutional. Jfc, that state.

so when NY can't put it's 2 million pounds of trash on trains out of town next week. Will all the NY politicians get arrested?

Has anyone bothered to get to the heart of the problem?

How mean! If she can't afford her bill they should just not have a garbage pick up, and figure out a way for someone to take care of her trash.

Rev Warnock must run the sanitation department.

Hunter's laptop is more worthy news than garbage pick up.

Wait, arrested for not paying a utility? Hmm maybe government has a little too much power.

Serves her right. Such a vicious criminal.

That's just garbage law enforcement! Why would you turn an 82yr old's life into a dumpster 🔥 fire when they don't have many years left to just Throw away.

It is not a service as it is a tax and spend . When the town contracts for the whole town, it gets paid by the community but why does the town mandate trash pickup but leave it to individual collections ? Simply contract and add it to the town budget .

This is what happens when trash pickup is allowed to be negotiated and mandated by a municipality.

This is a bit too much .

So, like, why? Why is this a thing?

If she was an Jan 6th insurrectionists would have gotten a better treatment.

Did they use Swat?

Leave that woman alone!!!

In Tampa our trash is in our property tax bill.

What makes this newsworthy?

Send me the bill....I will pay it

Those authorities are sick to their bones.

Multiple people have called and offered to pay the bill, and were told they were not allowed, bc the case needs to be heard in court. WTAF. Racist Kay Ivey state. Not surprised. Who TF keeps voting in this witch

Hmmm, pay for food or garbage removal? Biden’s America

GET HER!!!

Don’t f*ck with the trash. Pay your bill.
