Court to Lemonade Protesters: Urine Trouble!
13th October 2011
Three activists arrested for selling 10 cent cups of lemonade on the lawn of the Capitol building in August are facing up to one year in jail for their thirst-quenching crimes.
Will Duffield, Meg McLain and Kathryn Dill pleaded not guilty in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on Oct. 4 to “sale of goods on U.S. Capitol grounds” — a crime that carries a 180-day maximum prison sentence.
The three face an additional 180 days in jail after refusing to submit to a urine test and being held in contempt of court.
Well, you know, you can’t be too careful these days.
