If Law enforcement would catch Maria Shriver instead of the paparazzi, she would have faced a $20 fine for a first violation and $50 for each subsequent offense. Although that didn’t happen, Arnold made sure it doesn’t become a bad example.
After the incident, the former journalist released a statement saying, “I’m sorry. I will be donating my favorite old cell phone to my Women’s Conference partner Verizon through their HopeLine program that helps domestic violence shelters. I invite anyone else who wants to recycle their old phone to join me. That’s my version of swift action with a higher purpose.”
