By local law, residents are prohibited from letting their grass grow taller than 18 inches (45 cm).
But when she did not pay attention to the court appearance letter, a warrant for her arrest was issued.
The poor woman was going to jail!
When news of Jerry’s impending arrest spreads throughout town, a group of local boys decide to step in and do something about it.
The four Reynolds brothers decide to buy a lawn mower to take to Jerry’s and begin trimming weeds and tall grass.
They never met Jerry before deciding to come to the rescue. What a kind and thoughtful thing to do!
Blaine, one of the boys, told Tell 10, “We haven’t met her yet, but she’s 75 and needs help cutting herself. It’s the least we can do.”
When Blake Reynolds heard an old woman would be thrown in jail, he decided enough was enough.
He said, “It made me feel bad because she’s a 75-year-old woman. Who’s going to mow the lawn?”
These caring young men won’t let her go to jail.
The boys’ thoughtful gesture brought Jerry to tears and left her completely speechless.
Soon other neighbors came to help.
I am rarely without words. This time. “You might want to write in the story that I have nothing to say,” Jerry said in surprise.
