• So an 88 year old WWII vet in South Saint Paul keeps a messy back yard (tools, stacks of lumber, a “rickety” back porch, and a ripped back screen door).

  The city wanted him to get it cleaned up. He didn’t feel like changing how he does things. They’ve called him into court “nearly monthly” on the issue since November 2003. He generally makes it, but missed three times.

  So, they’ve locked him in jail for 30 days without bail unless he gets his yard cleaned up.

  Yep.
