Policeman fines a 3-year-old $2,500

A 3-year-old Oklahoma boy has been fined $2,500 for urinating in his own front yard. Ashley Warden says her son Dillan is being potty-trained, and had only just pulled down his pants when a passing cop “asked for my license and told me he was going to give me a ticket for public urination.” The Wardens will fight the fine in court.
