LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (Reuters) - The state of Kentucky passed a camping ban last year, frustrated by the growing ranks of homeless people and their encampments. Then came the human consequences.
Louisville police cited Samantha Crabtree on September 27 for unlawful camping. She was in labor and leaking amniotic fluid when police arrived. She said her husband was calling for an ambulance.
