*Business has reportedly skyrocketed for the 12-year-old Ohio boy whose “lawn-mowing while black” incident went viral over the weekend.
It all started when Maple Heights resident Lucille Holt hired 12-year-old Reginald Fields, who owns Mr. Reggie’s Lawn Cutting Service, to mow her lawn on Saturday, she told ABC Cleveland affiliate WEWS.
Reginald’s cousins, who assist him in the venture, were helping out that day when one of the neighbors called the police on them for accidentally cutting part of their grass, Holt said in a Facebook video she posted on Saturday.
“They called the police to tell the police that the kids was cutting their grass,” Holt said. “Who does that?”
The patch of grass in question sits between Holt’s home and theirs, with no fence to mark where the property begins and ends.
“I guess I have a line there, that’s not part of my yard,” Holt said.
The video showed a police car parked across the street from Holt’s home and two neighbors sweeping cut grass off their driveway. Holt said that those neighbors had called the police on her kids as well, when they were throwing snow balls, and another time when her son “was crying ’cause he was getting a whoppin’.”
“You called the police cause the kids out here cutting the grass, and they cut the grass that wasn’t part of our grass?” Holt said. “I don’t know what part is my grass and what part is your grass.”
She continued, “They should be glad these kids aren’t out there breaking their car windows out,” Holt said. “They should be glad the kids [aren’t] out here stealing their cars.”
