BUTTINSKY: Girl at lemonade stand threatened by a man who said he’d call police for lack of a business license.
This is the story of a little girl from Discover Bay who set up a lemonade stand on public property.
She just wanted to sell some lemonade and cookies. Her parents told her she could be there for 1 hour.
But as she was setting up she was approached by a man who was all bent out of shape by what she was doing.
(Don’t worry there is a happy ending)
Richard LaRouche is the little girl’s father.
He told me:
“The man just pulled up next to her and asked for her business license and then told her ‘I’m calling the police’ and then got on the phone and began speaking as if he was talking to police.”
“She was so scared that she came home crying and sobbing and said she didn’t want to go to jail.”
The really sad part is that the law is probably on the jerk’s side.
