Man Faces Prison for Not Planting Mums
October 30, 2003
A young man could have his probation revoked and go to prison for failing to plant 10 mums as ordered by a judge.
David Alan Waters, 20, of Bartlett pleaded guilty in September to vandalizing the home of a 99-year-old woman on Jan 9.
As a condition of Waters’ probation, Criminal Court Judge Carolyn Wade Blackett ordered him to plant the mums at the home of the victim, Minnie Becton.
Prosecutors are asking the judge to revoke the probation because Waters did not plant the flowers, although someone else did.
Waters could be ordered to do his two-year prison sentence at a hearing Friday.
Waters’ attorney, John Dolan Jr., could not be reached for comment.
