Four brothers rushed to the aid of a 75-year-old woman after the possibility of jail time loomed in her future.

“It’s a summer day; we don’t have season passes yet to Hawaiian Falls [water park]. What else could we do but go out and help some people?” one of the brothers, Blaine Reynolds, told KWTX.

“We hadn’t met her before, but she’s 75 years old and she needs some help out here mowing,” he said. “That’s the least we could do.”

Earlier this week when the Reynolds boys saw a report about Gerry Suttle receiving an arrest warrant because her grass was too high, they decided to take matters into their own hands.

“That made me feel bad, who’s going to mow her lawn?” another brother, Blake Reynolds, told the news network.

“It was like high 90 [degrees Fahrenheit] out here – we were out all day sweating, and it was hard pushing the lawnmower through the tall grass,” said Brandon Reynolds, who is the eldest of the brothers.

After seeing the four boys work so hard, other members of the community joined in. After two hours of hard labour they had tamed the outgrown lawn.

“I cannot believe this,” said the homeowner, Suttle, as she gazed upon her freshly-cut grass. “I’m very seldom without words. This is one time. You might want to mark it down in history that I don’t have something to say.”

In return for a job well done, the Reynolds brothers wanted absolutely nothing in return.

“I really wouldn’t want her coming out here and doing it or paying someone else to when we could have just done it for free,” Brandon Reynolds told KWTX.

“For them to be that young and to want to help somebody is just absolutely wonderful,” said an awe-stricken Settle.
