Jailed for Smoking

|

Reader Brian Trdina points to this case of a woman jailed for smoking around her kids (which ran afoul of a custody settlement with her former husband):

A woman was sentenced Thursday to 10 days in jail for defying a court order not to smoke around her children. Tamara Silvius was banned last year from smoking around the youths, now ages 8 and 10, as part of a custody arrangement with her ex-husband. She allegedly violated the order during a trip to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. For that, Silvius was fined $500 and was given a 10-day suspended sentence on the condition she not do it again.

Whole thing here.
