A Texas prosecutor has allowed common decency to yield to the criminal element.
She was cited on Aug. 4 for using the F-word in a conversation with her mother while shopping for batteries at the Wal-Mart at FM 1764 and Interstate 45 as a tropical storm menaced the Gulf Coast. La Marque is in Galveston County.
The shelf where she expected to find batteries was bare and Fridge expressed her frustration to her mother.
Her remarks were overheard by Capt. Alfred Decker, La Marque assistant fire marshal, who handcuffed her after she protested his decision to cite her for disorderly conduct.
