A North Carolina woman decided to celebrate her 100th birthday inside a jail cell. She said the wish was a part of her bucket list.
According to WRAL, Ruth Bryant wanted to spend her 100th birthday getting arrested and spending the day in a jail cell. On the day of her birthday, Roxboro deputies went to the Cambridge Hills Assisted Living Center and placed Bryant in handcuffs. She even playfully resisted arrest. Her daughter, Marian Oakley, said she didn’t know about her mother’s wish and was surprised when authorities arrived at the nursing home:

She returned back to her nursing home to celebrate her birthday with her friends, family, and fellow residents.
