Linked to sausage, grandma may pay $50,000.

73 year old grandmother, from New Orleans, sent to prison with a $50,000 bond for "looting" $63.50 worth of food and other items. She is accused of breaking into a deli via a window, the diabetic woman would have had to jump over a counter to get to any of the valuables she allegedly stole.

$50,000 bond for $63.50 worth of survival goods? Is this right? Why not make her pay the $63.50 back to the Deli owner, who does not even want to press charges?

The police arrested the grandmother because they were too tired to go after the actual looters, who all ran away. The woman was arrested, as she was walking, to her car to get sausage for her and her 80 year old husband.

I wonder if the police confiscated the sausage?
If the woman is convicted and forced to pay the bond, will any of the money go to relief efforts of the hurricane? If so, a statue should be erected in her honor.

Will she get a $2,000 FEMA card? Or does she no longer qualify?
