"A Welsh woman has been fined \u00C2\u00A3400 ($630) for dropping a salt sachet in a car pack. Laura Howells dropped the packet whilst eating a takeaway meal in her car outside B&amp;amp;Q in Trostre, Llanelli. The Sun reports that a council official spotted Howells and issued her with an on-the-spot fine of \u00C2\u00A375 ($118.16) for littering. After the 24-year-old failed to pay, she was taken to Carmarthen Magistrates court and ordered to pay over \u00C2\u00A3400 for the offense. Howells said: &amp;quot;I felt sick when I found out how much it cost me - it was only a salt sachet. &amp;quot;I was eating lunch in the car and must have dropped it by accident. I am not the type of person who ever litters.&amp;quot; Jim Jones of Carmarthenshire Council said: &amp;quot;Cleaning our streets costs \u00C2\u00A32.2million a year. Dropping litter is against the law.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
