I just wanted everyone to know what happened to a very very close family member of mine this past week.....I am not going to mention his real name for his protection and court reasons but...I am going to just call him "P"....Well, "P" is 21 yrs old and works for Freightliner Chassis full time ....He is married and has a beautiful 1.5 year old daughter....He works on the side cutting grass for the families he is close too and elder people and has been doing this since he was very very young....He was spreading fertilizer for an elder woman who asked him to do this for her on a street in the city....He didn't mind helping her out and didn't even charge her because her yard was very small.but needless to say the lady gave him a few bucks for helping her out...well, while he was doing this for her John Brasington, III approached him in her yard after riding past him several times and staring and asked him for his license for yard work and "P" told him he didn't have one.....He gave "P" a ticket for $500.00 and he has to appear in court....."P" wasn't and hasn't put his side job up for people to know about in public like it was a business he just does it for families he knows and elders who approach him and ask him to do some work for them....This is the most unexceptable thing I have ever heard....I see young people cutting grass and I know a few myself that cut grass for a living that doesn't have a license....I am sorry to say this and I don't want to sound mean but I was told by quite a few fire fighters that John Brasington III was laid off from being a firefighter because he was so over weight...and this is why they put him doing this....I would like to hear from others that have been fined for doing something nice for others.....You can bet he will be in court with a smile on his face because he loves helping out people and he knows he didn't do anything wrong.
