The smoking isn’t so bad, it’s the littering

A 15-year-old female admitted smoking, but denied littering as a group of about 10 teenagers in the 4300 block of Silverberry Avenue were said to be flipping cigarettes at people in the area about 9:32 p.m.

She was a little testy since a male came out of a nearby home and verbally abused her for smoking. The officer on the case suggested both sides stay away from each other to cool the argument.
