Mow your Lawn or Go to Jail

In Ohio they take grass-cutting very seriously. So seriously in fact that homeowners who don’t mow their lawns face a stiff fine, even jail time in some cases.

The city council has decided to get tougher by increasing the maximum fine for failing to cut the grass from $150 to $250. And they’ve also added up to 30 days behind bars if a violator is particularly bad. Mayor William Healy says it’s the type of action needed “in order to clean up our neighbourhoods and our city.”

I didn't mow my lawn, went to jail, and all I got was this lousy prison uniform, lol.
