A Stoke grandmother has been fined for littering – after dropping dead from a MASSIVE heart attack!
Jean Genet, 63, was dying on the pavement on Cornelius Road in Fenton when a council environment officer marched up to her and gave her a £75 fixed penalty fine.
Jean's daughter Kylie said: “It’s ridiculous. He could have called an ambulance but instead he just stood there writing out a ticket. It's political correctness gone mad. Or health and safety gone mad. I'm not sure which one."
Stoke City Council yesterday refused to withdraw the fine. Council spokesman Mick Ronson said: "An environmental offence was committed and we can't go around letting people off just because they're dead. The point of a democracy is that everyone is equal, whether alive or dead. Case closed."
