LAKEMOOR, Ill. (AP) — The planters in her front yard brought Tina Asmus national publicity last month. This week, they brought her a $25 fine.

Asmus said Tuesday she will go to court to fight to keep her lawn ornaments, which are made from two old toilets and a bathroom sink.

Lakemoor Police Chief Rick Iverson said Asmus was issued the $25 noncompliance ticket Monday after a 30-day warning ticket expired.

Ivarson said the village is not singling Asmus out, since it has issued about 100 notices of violation of the same ordinance, and the majority of those cited have complied.

The ordinance violations cited by police range from grass that is too long to junk in front yards.
