Take Me Where I Cannot Park

“I called 911,” said Tim Arnold, “and I tried to tell them I was going down the highway in my RV and I don’t know why.” He should have known: the manager of the mobile home park where he’d lived in Titusville, Fla., had evicted him that morning. “And she told me I had an hour to get out of there or she was going to have it towed away,” he said. Once his RV was dropped off, Arnold just sat there with his dog for a day. “There was an airboat driver, and I said, ‘Where am I?’” Arnold said. It was a place called Midway, near a highway, but apparently he couldn’t stay there, either. Officers took him to a homeless shelter and his dog to an animal shelter. Local police have asked state lawyers to advise them. (AC/WESH Orlando) ...I’d advise the police to put Arnold and his dog back in his RV, buy him some gas, and send him to the next county.
