On this day, 24th January 2005, country singer Lynn Anderson was caught stealing a Harry Potter DVD from a Taos, New Mexico supermarket and arrested. She punched a police officer during the arrest process. She was charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest, and assault on a police officer. The assault charge was later dropped and so was the shoplifting charge. However, the latter was conditional on her not committing any further offences. She was 57 at the time and had a drinking problem. Thirty-five years earlier she had a huge hit with “(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden” a song written by Joe South. Sadly Lynn passed away in 2015. Incidentally “Rose Garden” was a favorite of my Mum and Dad. Anderson was a hugely successful recording artist and in her younger years won several equestrian events.
