Overgrown lawns are sprouting up in the village of Albany in Livingston Parish.

Officials in the Livingston Parish village say, the tall grass is not only a public nuisance, it’s a crime.

And they’re ready to enforce it.

Village police will be keeping a close eye on the unweildy weeds.

The main targets are empty fields left unkempt by owners.

If the grass gets above eight inches, the resident gets a letter.
