Cops nab 104-yr-old for her ‘special’ wish
Bristol: It’s not unusual for people to have a bucket list filled with unfulfilled dreams and desires to achieve before dying. Having lived a long life, a 104-year-old woman in Bristol had only one wish that she wanted to come true — be arrested! Yes, so, the cops in her locality in a heartwarming gesture granted her wish and she couldn’t have been happier getting busted. Now, photos of the elderly woman being handcuffed and interacting with the police are melting hearts online.
It all started when Anne Brokenbrow, a resident at Stokeleigh Care Home in Stoke Bishop, participated in the Wishing Washing Line initiative, run by elderly people’s charity Alive Activities to grant wishes to elderlies living in retirement homes. The care home was given a box to fill with the ‘wishes’ of its residents along with an address and contact number.
