A 64 year old man was arrested in Brooksville, Florida for cutting down a Canadian flag outside his local community center. He had apparently made serveral complaints that the flag was flying higher than the US Flag. Here's the link to the St. Petersburg Times article.
In their purusuit of justice and protecting the public they arrested the man, in his home. Boy did they catch the bad guy this time. Good work guys - maybe tomorrow you'll get that terrible criminal whose dog keeps barking.
By they way, the man was arrested for criminal mischief. If indeed the police thought he had committed a crime, they had the option of giving him a Notice to Appear in Court rather than arresting him in front of his friends and neighbors, hauling him to jail and making him pay a bond to get out. But then this article wouldn't be in the paper, would it?
