Edie Simms, a 102-year-old Missouri woman, was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser Friday as officers helped her fulfill an unusual bucket list wish: getting arrested.

Simms was seen being cheerfully escorted to St. Louis’ Five Star Senior Center with accompanying St. Louis police officers that said they couldn’t be happier to help, KPLR reported.

“We love it and we get more out of it than the seniors do,” St. Louis Police Sgt. John McLaughlin told the station.

Asked if she enjoyed her ride, Simms answered: “Oh yes, handcuffs and all.”

The unusual treat was one that followed several years of Simms creating and donating handmade items to the residential center’s members, the center’s executive director, Michael Howard, told The Huffington Post Monday.
