I cannot believe an HOA got a local judge in Florida to sign a court order to arrest a 66 year old man for not maintaing his grass.  What was this judge thinking when they signed the court order?  Cinch bugs and lack of watering time are more than likely the cause of the brown grass, but this Florida man has more important things on his mind - like keeping his house.  He is 2 months behind on his mortgage payment and fighting foreclosure.  What is this world coming to?  Arresting a man for brown grass is ludicrous when people are walking away from their homes everyday.  I know the HOA is having a difficult time keeping order in the neighborhood, but they need to find a compromise in working with existing homeowners.  The HOA should be happy the homeowner hasn't walked away and completely abandoned the home. 

I know the HOA argues the law is the law, but I am happy I do not have to put up with these power hungry clowns!!  My once beautiful grass has been destroyed by cinch bugs and it has taken a long time to kill them so I guess I am grateful for my freedom right now.
