No good deed goes unpunished! Just ask 90-year-old Arnold Abbott, who was busted in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for feeding the homeless.
Cops have issued Arnold three citations for violating a new city ordinance that bans “public food sharing.” The citations carry a $500 penalty, and a sentence of up to 60 days in jail.
Arnold told The National ENQUIRER: “When I was arrested on Nov. 2, one of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon. These people I’m feeding are the poorest of the poor. They have nothing. They don’t have a roof over their head. How could you turn them away?”
The gutsy oldster wears a chef’s coat while handing out meals, and wrote on Facebook: “I have no fear of spending the night in a Fort Lauderdale jail.”
