OPINION from columnist JohnArchibald: The city of Wetumpka 'spent a full day pointing the long arm of Wetumpka law directly at two ladies with the audacity to think they could humanely help solve a feral cat problem.' Read it:
This is an opinion column, and dribbles into satire. But it is based in fact.
It was trespass, after all. What could this woman possibly be doing on public land? She was surely up to no good. Their highly trained intuition paid off. For after they told her to leave they spotted her again in the same vicinity, a spot known for cats and buzzards, and people like her. It charged Alston with criminal trespassing when she returned to the scene after a warning, and disorderly conduct, a crime she apparently committed by wondering out loud if the police officers were as witless as they seemed. The accomplice, 85-year-old Beverly Roberts, had been found later, skulking about the driver’s seat of her own car. She was cuffed and derided as childish, charged with criminal trespassing and interfering with government operations.
