ARRESTED: A Georgia poet who contributed a couple verses to the best-selling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series was arrested earlier this week. Jill Leslie Grubb-Travoss was charged with disturbing the peace and obstructing an officer after she allegedly harassed neighbors in her subdivision following a Homeowners Association meeting, AP reports. The 51-year-old poet was reportedly upset after she was not elected to the board, and neighbors claimed that she repeatedly telephoned them, saying they would "be sorry about the way (they) voted." Travoss wrote two poems for "Chicken Soup for the Grandparents' Soul."
