The Person County Sheriff’s Office fulfilled 100-year-old Ruth Bryant’s birthday wish on Tuesday with a tongue-in-cheek “arrest.”

By the time you have reached a full century of life, you have, statistically speaking, experienced more than most people ever will. But for Ruth Bryant of Person, North Carolina, there is still more to do. Specifically, the otherwise well-behaved elderly woman wanted to experience being arrested. With the help of officers from the county sheriff’s office, she got her wish.

Deputies R.D. Weaver and Tevin Dixon served a warrant for Bryant’s arrest, charging her with “indecent exposure” in the midst of her birthday celebration. Bryant was cuffed to her walker as she grumbled and complained, telling officers they were “getting on my last nerve.”

Lights and sirens were on as the deputies took Bryant from the assisted living facility to the jail.

Bryant, upon arriving at the jail, Bryant told the deputies they should really be arresting the “people who make these low damn seats in all these cars. You ought to arrest every one of them.”

Bryant had her mugshot taken following the “arrest.”

 

 

I think it's a good life lesson, if you ever come across a centenarian (and how you find that out, I leave up to your own social intelligence/cognitive abilities), extract as much info as reasonably possible on how they lived a long life. Therein, you'll find some common themes. Beyond genes, of course.

Back when 1999 was turning into 2000, media outlets were interviewing centenarians to find out what they thought, etc.  A standard question was, "What was the greatest technological advance in your lifetime?"  Amidst the typical answers of "space flight" and similar, more than half the respondents said, "indoor plumbing."

 

Think about that.

When I was a child I would go on house calls with my dad, out in the country. More than a few homes had outhouses and potbellied stoves.

We always had running water, but I remember visiting a few folk who hadn't enjoyed the luxury of running water in the home.
