A Gwinnett County woman's grass is high; there are cars in her front yard, and now the 21-year-old pregnant woman has gone to jail because of it.

It's part of a new clean up initiative in Gwinnett County -- but Nicole Schandera's family has said that the clean-up has gone too far.

Thirteen violations in all, and some that Lewis does not agree with.

"Seven months pregnant and they carried her to jail for code violations," Lewis said. "Seven months pregnant, (they) handcuffed her, hands behind her back put her in a patrol car with no A/C and the window down, and it was 90 degrees at 2:00 in the afternoon."

While I can agree that the yard needs to be taken care of, she's 7 months pregnant and it's the middle of the summer... give the woman a break. If I were this poor womans neighbor I would have been helping her out.

Seriously... people take the laws way way to seriously if you can't even give circumstantial credit where it's needed.
 
Several people called the cops on my brother for not mowing his lawn. What a nice way to say Hi to your new neighbor. Hes going thru a lot of crap, but hey, people still want to see nice looking lawns...no matter what you have going on in your life at the time. :(
 
"Gwinnet County police said a trip to jail is not a typical result. They said they always issue a written notice of violation first, then try to work with the homeowner to get things cleaned up."

So it looks like they issued written violations first. I wonder how long they gave her to clean it up? The place does look like a dump but I do think it was a bit excessive. Im thinkin that she took too long to clean it up, causing the arrest. Kind of like a failure to pay a ticket results in a warrant.
