Prosecutors dropped the $344 littering citation, but how on earth do you ticket someone for that lol
Cleveland police said it's illegal to solicit or give money at the side of a roadway, and that it's dangerous for those doing it and other drivers.

The police officer didn't ticket Davis for donating to a panhandler, which carries a smaller fine of about $160, but instead cited him for littering from a vehicle.

I agree that is harsh but Cleveland is pretty serious about not giving money to panhandlers. They have these signs all over downtown.
