  • A centenarian crossed off getting arrested on her bucket list as officers handcuffed her on her 100th birthday.
  • Jean Bickerton was brought to jail and had a grand time with the officers and staff who happily obliged her wish.
  • The staff at the nursing home, residents and the officers, planned the whole “drama” as a gift for Jean’s birthday.

When Jean Bickerton celebrated her 100th birthday, officers came to her nursing home and arrested her.  But for what case?  Well, it is their gift as Jean had it on her bucket list.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Jean often joked to the staff that she often wondered how it is to be arrested.  Jean said, “I said to them I’ve never been drunk and I’ve never been arrested, never lost my driving license and never had an infringement.” 

She had lived a clean life.

For her 100th birthday, the staff at the Narracan Gardens Residential Aged Care knew exactly what to give her — crossing the “get arrested” on her bucket list.

So, while they were enjoying her birthday party, a patrol car with lights flashing stopped at the home and three officers went straight to Jean!  They handcuffed her and took her to the police station.

All the residents knew of the “drama” and so nobody panicked.  As for Jean, she was having the time of her life!

And the Moe Police Department could not have been a more willing accomplice.  They proudly shared the “arrest” on Facebook. They wrote, “Now these kinda arrests, we’re happy to make.” They added, “For many, getting through life without being arrested is a pretty good run. An obvious one we would like to think. But for ex-nurse Jean Bickerton — who recently celebrated her 100th birthday, a good run in and of itself — getting arrested was on her bucket list.”

Jean’s daughter could only laugh and say that her mom really has a strange sense of humor.

Happy birthday, Jean!
