We can’t get illegal aliens arrested but we sure can solve the HUGE problem of unlicensed dogs…sarcasm đÂ
A western Michigan woman heads to court Tuesday after being arrested for failing to renew her dogâs license.
Becky Rehr says she drove to the Kalamazoo County sheriffâs office June 23 to prove that sheâs recently renewed the license for the familyâs 11-year-old dog, Dexter. Rehrâs 14-year-old daughter waited in the car as her mother was arrested, fingerprinted and held for three hours, The Kalamazoo Gazette said.
âThey frisked me and put me in this intake cell with all these inmates in orange jumpsuits,â Rehr said. âI was pretty nervous.â
Failure to license a dog is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and $100 fine.
County animal control Director Steve Lawrence said his office gave the 47-year-old Cooper Township woman numerous phone, mail and in-person notices of the need to renew the license. The last was a phone warning that a warrant would be requested unless she got a license by May 28.
A hearing on the misdemeanor case is scheduled Tuesday before District Judge Christopher Haenicke.
âWe prefer not for this stuff to go to court,â Lawrence told The Associated Press. âItâs just a $10 license. For some reason, some people like to make it hard for themselves.â
SPECIAL: Sign our Congressional Warning today. Demand that Congress back off and restore our rights, stop the trampling of our Constitution and impeach Obama!
Rehr said she had âevery intention of taking care of it. But with the end of the school year and my job, it just totally got put on the back burner.â
