WHILE THE LIBERALS RELEASE CHILD MOLESTERS FROM JAIL THEY NARROW IN ON IMPORTANT CRIME !!!!

We really do believe in zero tolerance,” Metro Transit Police Chief Barry J. McDevitt said after a schoolgirl was handcuffed and arrested for consuming an illegal substance in a Washington subway station.

Was it marijuana, cocaine, LSD? No: French fries.

Seventh-grader Ansche Hedgepeth was handcuffed, booked and fingerprinted for her heinous crime, ABC News reported today.

Twelve-year-old Ansche told cops she knew she wasn’t supposed to eat in the station but didn’t think she would get arrested. Her mother, Tracey Hedgepeth, is aghast about the October bust.

"I can’t believe there isn’t a better way to teach kids a lesson,” she said. "The police treated her like a criminal.”

Tough luck, say police. Commuter complaints about unlawful eating on Metro cars and in stations led to undercover crackdown and 35 arrests.
