Police in a small Louisiana city said they’re trying to curb homelessness and begging, but they’re doing it in an unapologetic way.

According to a report from an ABC affiliate, they arrested 59-year-old Franklin Jones, who asks for money near an intersection. They can’t arrest him for begging, but took him in for public intoxication and stealing a shopping cart.
