86yo man given ridiculous fine for littering after spitting out a leaf that blew into his mouth

A grandfather from the U.K. has found himself on the wrong side of the law after spitting out a leaf! You read that right, 86-year-old Roy Marsh claims that he was fined £150 after a leaf blew into his mouth and he spat it out.

Marsh had been walking near a boating lake in Skegness when he was seen by council enforcement officers spitting out a leaf that had blown into his mouth. He was then approached by the officers who proceeded to give him a £250 (roughly $330) fine, although it was later reduced to £150 (roughly $200).
