For Minor Crimes, NYers Sentenced to Sandy Relief - ABC News
(Excerpt)
New Yorkers who got into minor trouble in Manhattan have been sentenced to Sandy.
Last week, 70 people who were given community service after pleading guilty to infractions like public drunkenness, open container violations or speeding were shuttled to Coney Island in Brooklyn to help with cleanup efforts after the devastating storm.
They raked leaves, shoveled mud and picked up garbage and debris. More than 1,000 bags of trash were collected in 732 hours of work. Swaths of Sandy-wrecked filthy streets and sidewalks were cleaned.
