Good samaritan charged with littering.

A US man has been charged with littering -
after he tossed a couple of dollar bills to a
beggar from his car.
John Davis was leaving a motorway in
Cleveland, Ohio, when he saw the beggar in
a wheelchair, reports Fox News.
He decided to try to help someone less
fortunate than himself and grabbed a few
dollars from his wallet.
"I have a brother that's paralysed," he said.
"My brother's in that same situation and
struggles."
As Mr Davis approached the man, he rolled
up the money and stretched his arm out of
his car window.
He says the man took the cash but one of
the dollars fell to the ground. The man bent
over and picked it up.
Moments later, Mr Davis was pulled over by a
police officer who wrote him a ticket for
littering.
He faces having to pay out up to $500
including costs and plans to challenge the
ticket in court.
Cleveland police declined to comment but Mr
Davis says it will make him think twice about
helping those less fortunate in future.
"I'd like to do it again but I'm petrified I'm
going to get a ticket," he said.
