PIEDMONT, Oklahoma - A three year old gets his mom in trouble with the law when he gets a ticket from police. Now the little boy's mother will have to pay thousands of dollars for what the toddler did in their own front yard.

The toddler is being potty trained, and he wasn't near the facilities, so he unzipped.

We are told before he could pee, a Piedmont police officer stopped him. It's a bathroom break that cost mom $2,500.

We all know the saying, boys will be boys. Dillan decided to be a big boy, stop what he was doing, so he wouldn't wet his pull-up.

"Dillan pulled down his pants to pee outside, I guess and the cop pulled up and asked for my license and told me he was going to give me a ticket for public urination," said the boy's mother, Ashley Warden.

Not necessarily, a happenstance observation is possible, of course, there is also the option that the officer has been watching that boy (and /or other children) with pedophilic intent and seized on the first opportunity to “legitimize” his presence to the public.

Okay - to quote my daughters: Ewwwww! Hadn’t even thought of that possibility. Thanks for THAT mental image...

I sent a few critical emails to Piedmont city officials this morning.

Got some response UPDATES this afternoon:

Councilman: "District attorney just tossed it. What a mess."

==

Mayor Valerie Thomerson:

" First I have to tell you that we are as appalled as you are...this entire situation is absolutely ludicrous.

Next... The ticket has been resolved...Our Police Chief has indicated that he has spoken with the DA¹s office and they are not going to pursue this any further. Case closed.

Beyond that and embarrassment aside, I will tell you that we are taking the officer's inability to exercise good judgment quite seriously."
