Bullhead City woman, after arrest for feeding homemade meals to the homeless, continues mission BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — As Norma Thornton was being arrested in March for serving home-cooked food to homeless people at a park in Bullhead City, her first thought was that she was being pranked. She quickly realized that wasn't the case. The 78-year-old resident of Bullhead City, the Colorado River town about 90 miles southeast of Las Vegas across the river from Laughlin, would face a criminal charge for violating a city ordinance that prohibits privately prepared food from being served in a 'non-social gathering' without a permit — specifically citing the act of feeding homeless people.
