why 102 year old was arrested by police in St. Louis
The world gets weird every day with unbelievable stories. Edie
Simms is a 102-year-old woman who was found with an unusual item on her to-do
list. Though the St. Louis Police Authorities assisted her to strike off the
item, she preferred to be arrested, handcuffed and placed in the back of a
police cruiser so she would enjoy the ride first time in her life, CNN reports.
"She
was so excited that she can ride in a police car and she said, 'Do you think
you could put those handcuffs on me?'" Michael Howard of the Five Star
Senior Center told CNN affiliate KPLR.
"A St. Louis County car pulled up next to the police and Edie holds up her hands with the handcuffs on. She's just a riot."
Edie has produced over 400 handmade items -- scarves, eye glass cases, pot holders -- for the seniors at the center. Last Friday, she made her usual delivery, but this time she was ferried to the center in the back of a St. Louis PD car.
"We're more than happy to do these type of things," said Sgt. John McLaughlin. "We love it and we get more out of it than the seniors do." Simms couldn't be happier. "It`s a great world if you just open your eyes and look at it," she said.
