According to Daily Mail, a hundred-and-four years-old grandma who
has never been arrested by the police as she has never been on the wrong side
of the law, has finally had her wish come true after she requested that the
Police have her arrested.
Anne Brokenbrow, who is a
resident at Stokeleigh Care Home in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, was ‘detained’ by
two officers as part of a charity event, Daily Mail reports.
The home is one of five
facilities in the area participating in the Wishing Washing Line initiative.
And just a few days later
her dream came true when three police officers came to her home, handcuffed her
and sat her in the police car.
When he arrived at her care
home in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, PC Stephen Harding from Bridewell Police Station
told her:
“I’m arresting you on the
grounds of being an upstanding citizen for the past 104 years.”
She told staff at her care
home her desire to be arrested as part of a charity scheme where residents
write down what they want most, and organisers then emailed the police to see
if they could make it happen.
Anne – who has never
committed a crime – grinned as local officers arrested and bundled her into a
cop car.
“I had a lovely day it was
interesting. Nothing like that ever happened to me before. They put the
handcuffs on, I had the lot.
“What did it feel like
being a criminal? Well it will make me much more careful of what I say and do.
But the police were very nice throughout.
“It was a very pleasant
interlude. And its been a very eventful day. I get to a lot of different
activities here – I have a go at everything, they’re very nice to me.”
PCSO Rob Cole said:
“It was our first time
arresting anyone at a care home. She was surprised to see us, I don’t think she
could remember at first that she’d wanted to be arrested.
