Woman Who Swore at Toilet
Settles Lawsuit, Gets $19,000

The city of Scranton is paying a woman $19,000 to settle a lawsuit that started after she was arrested for swearing at her overflowing toilet. Scranton is also paying Dawn Herb's legal fees. Herb was arrested last year after a neighbor, who was an off-duty police officer, heard her cursing through an open window. A judge later found her not guilty of disorderly conduct, saying her language was constitutionally protected free speech. The ACLU announced the settlement today.
