EASTON, Pa. (AP) - June 5, 2006 -- A thrown salad is costing Dawn Higgins more than $173.
She tossed the leftovers from a McDonald's salad out of her car window. She was ticketed for littering and ordered to pay the fine when she didn't show up for her court date.
Higgins appealed, arguing lettuce is biodegradable and not trash. But the Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Common Pleas Court wasn't convinced.
She was ordered to pay up.
Higgins' lawyer says it's probably the most expensive McDonald's salad ever.
