Must’ve been one of those “assault trowels,” with no legitimate gardening purpose.
The most offensive part of this to me is, they arrested him for having gardening tools in his own garden. On his own property, not like he’s carrying them through downtown London.
No, I wouldn’t either. They’re done.
