As deputies sought to take Conrad into custody, he allegedly balled up his fist and refused to place his hands behind his back. After being handcuffed, Conrad was booked into the county jail for battery and resisting police, both misdemeanors.

Get these violent nonagenarians off the street! Before someone stops laughing and punches them back which would probably lead to a murder charge.

First off, this happened in Florida so why am I not surprised. Second, was the guy actually on his lawn and did not leave after repeatedly being asked to do so?

You have to send a strong message here, “get off of our lawns!” is taken seriously by old folks and there will be blood!

_Cuz I’m ninety years old and I’m courting today,  
Ninety years old and I’m on my way.  
I can’t play the fiddle like I used to could,  
But I can punch you in the face to keep my lawn good._

It sounds like the guy was mowing his neighbor’s lawn. So he probably stepped over the property line onto his lawn at some point in the process; I mean it’s kind of hard not to when you’re turning the mower around to make your next pass.
