WABC TVATLANTA, Ga. — A sanitation worker in an Atlanta suburb is behind bars for getting to work too early.
Kevin McGill was sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating a Sandy Springs ordinance that says workers can only haul trash between the hours of 7am and 7pm.
McGill was cited for picking up the trash just after 5am one morning.
He says he could not believe when the prosecutor asked the judge for the maximum punishment.
“I was stunned. I didn’t know what to think. I was shocked,” he said.
The prosecutor, Bill Riley, makes no apologies for locking sanitation workers up.
“Fines don’t seem to work,” Riley said.
He says they are a nuisance to sleeping residents.
McGill had only been on the job for three months.
Now he has to spend the next 14 weekends in jail, while he works during the week… after 7am.

Must of been them Homeowner Nazis reporting/snitching on everyone again for anything and everything. Words cannot describe the stupidity in this country.
“I want that lowly, stinking garbage man prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law”, said Mr. Righteous Indignation. “I’m way too important to be bothered by a garbage man.”
