There are generally at least two sides to every story. But this series of events is something that shouldn't have happened and illustrates how fragile and petty civilization is.

Did you ever wonder if we are living in the stupidest times?

Well... as I see from the article it is not just 'littering'. It is quite long time opposition between the relatives of the deceased and her fiance that was expressed in putting and getting away a box with flowers from the grave.
Maybe the farther of the girl had some 'connections' to make it look formally as 'littering' and get the guy arrested. American laws sometimes are interpreted in a very literal way which probably gives some space for such manipulations.
PS
By the way I think the title 'Man jailed for criminal littering after placing flowers on fiancee’s grave" is a typical journalism. When you read it you think: 'oh a cop saw the guy putting flowers on his fiancee's grave and arrested him for littering'

For some reason I read the title of the thread and thought that it is a name of a song!
'Man arrested for flowers on his fiancées grave'. I can't even imagine the name of the album where that song would be in.
Sad story there behind the title.

Despite my above levity, it is sad that this happened. Sounds like a typical legalism gone amuck. I think we know who the real villain is here, and it isn't the grieving fiancee.

What I find disconcerting is that you can actually be arrested for littering.
But then I should’ve been warned by Arlo Guthrie, sitting on the bench right next to father rapers.

It’s not flowers on her grave. It’s a wooden box covered with pictures of the couple which obviously upsets the father. The guy knows what he’s doing, and it’s disrespectful.
