Title: (Oklahoma) Piedmont Boy, 3, Gets $2,500 Ticket For Urinating In His Front Yard

PIEDMONT, Oklahoma - A 3 year old gets his mom in trouble with the law when he gets a ticket from police. Now the little boy's mother will have to pay thousands of dollars for what the toddler did in their own front yard.

Dillan is being potty trained. His mother says he wasn't playing outside and wasn't near the facilities, so he unzipped.

News 9 was told before he could pee, a Piedmont police officer stopped him. It's a bathroom break that cost mom $2,500.

"Dillan pulled down his pants to pee outside. I guess and the cop pulled up and asked for my license and told me he was going to give me a ticket for public urination," the boy's mother, Ashley Warden, said.

"I said really, he is 3 years old, and he said it doesn't matter," said Dillan's grandmother, Jennifer Warden. "[He said] It is public urination. I said we are on our property and he said it's in public view."

The family lives on two-and-a-half acres and says the street is actually quite rural; but they say the officer who cited them parks at the end of their street daily. So they asked why.

"It's a public street and he wants to, so he can," Jennifer Warden said.

The Wardens filed a complaint with the police department. The police department didn't accept the Warden's complaint. They have a court appearance set for next month.

"I am disappointed that the officer thinks... what he needs to do with my tax dollars is sitting and harassing our family," Jennifer Warden said.

Warden said as a courtesy, the officer wrote down the cost of ticket: $2,500. Warden plans on fighting the ticket since she says her son didn't actually finish the act.

News 9 tried to speak with the police department, but our calls went unreturned.

We're told a judge can throw out the ticket.


Poster Comment:

I just talked to Mayor Thomason herself (she's very nice) and she's personally outraged. She lives on two and a half acres and told me that now her husband and sons have to watch out if they're working outside and have to pee. I rhetorically asked her if the officer in question ever urinated in a ditch while he's out patrolling, the mayor said excellent question and she will run with it. She said the D.A. has been contacted and that there will be no prosecution for the little boy or his mother.

The cop's argument that the private property is in public view is a non-issue. Now, if that property has a fence around it, then not only is the part about public view a moot issue but also that cop could be cited for trespassing (if there was a "No Trespassing" sign posted on that fence from the inside).

The kid can't be fined. He's not subject to any of the laws.
