Minor law breakers to wash cars for free next Saturday

Giving back to the community while cleaning a little of it is what several misdemeanor violators will be doing Saturday, June 17 while washing cars compliments of Judge Larry Ross.

?It?s free,? said Holly Bain of PSI, one of the probation officers who will be overseeing the car wash. ?It?s the same as last year.?

Judge Ross has reinstated the free Warren County car wash in recent years saying it?s a good way for lawbreakers to give back to the community. Last year?s event was a huge success with hundreds of cars showing up to be cleaned.

As with last year, the free public car wash will be conducted by non-violent offenders who were given public service work for minor violations. The event will help misdemeanor law violators meet their court-ordered public service work.

The car wash will be held at Caney Fork Electric on Smithville Highway from 8 a.m. until the last car leaves.

?We?ll be there as long as we need to be,? said Bain. ?Usually it?s about 4 p.m., but we?ll say until the last car leaves.?

The items used in the car wash have been donated by private citizens and businesses.
