Man Arrested For Using Leaf Blower in Brookline

Brookline Police arrested a landscaper for violating local leaf-blower laws, according to The Boston Globe.

In Brookline no one is allowed to use gasoline-powered tools between May 15 and Sept. 15 and they are not allowed to perform landscaping work before 9 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.  Police say that there were two men who were working on Yom Kippur.

One of the men identified himself to police and was issued a $100 fine.  However, the other man refused to identify himself and was then arrested by police.
