Every one has a list of things they want to do before they "kick the bucket." One great-great-grandmother of Manchester, England, had one such request. She wanted to be arrested.

Reaching 93 years of age makes a woman a bit wistful. What has she missed out on after such a long life? This great-great-grandmother wanted to know how it felt to "be naughty." Josie Birds has been, by all accounts, a model citizen for all of her life. For once, she wanted to feel the long arm of the law.

Two off-duty officers helped make her wish come true. On Saturday, they put her in handcuffs and took her off to jail in the back of a police van. According to the lady's granddaughter, Pam Smith, the officers did not put her in a jail cell, preferring to offer her tea and cake instead. The officers detained her because she was accused of theft from a local Co-op. This mother to six, grandmother to 20, great-grandmother to 25, and great-great-grandmother to two, underwent rigorous questioning while she was under arrest. Her defense to the charge was that she didn't shop at Co-op.

Josie wanted to be put in a cell to have the full experience, but the officers denied her that due to her age. They sat down for a bit of tea and cake afterward. Ms. Birds has been talking non-stop about it ever since. The Greater Manchester Police were happy to oblige.
