FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A 90-year-old man and two South Florida ministers have been accused of breaking a new ordinance that severely restricts public feeding of the homeless in Fort Lauderdale. Police arrested homeless advocate Arnold Abbot and ministers Dwayne Black and Mark Sims on Sunday as they handed out food to homeless people in a Fort Lauderdale park. The city ordinance took effect Friday. “One of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon,” Abbott told South Florida television station WPLG. “It’s man’s inhumanity to man is all it is.” All three face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
