Messed up

A Maryland man has been sent to jail for having a dirty yard.

Officials said they tried for seven years to get George Hartsuff to clean up old boats, crab pots and other debris in his back yard.

Hartsuff was jailed earlier this month for not obeying a court order last month to clean debris from his yard.

When authorities returned after giving Hartsuff 30 days to clean his yard, they found junk including an Arizona Iced Tea vending machine in the yard.

A judge sentenced Hartsuff to 60 days in a county jail.

If his yard isn't cleaned up by then, he could face more jail time.
