A Michigan teenager was fined $200 for swearing near a playground after his friend was ticketed for skateboarding.

Colin Andersen, 19, says he was hanging out with his friends in a parking lot near a playground in Brighton, Michigan, when a police officer told them they had to go elsewhere. Andersen says when he heard that, he muttered "f--king bulls--t," according to WZZM-TV.

Anderson claims no children heard the profanity, but the police officer did.

“What got me to start arguing a little bit, they were asking all of us to leave because he got a ticket,” Andersen said, according to the Associated Press. “That’s not fair. We’re just standing around.”

After Andersen dropped the F bomb, the officer gave him a ticket for disorderly conduct, a charge he claims is unfair and disputes the officer’s claim that Anderson was issued with a warning prior to him being fined.

Brighton Police Chief Tom Wightman disagreed with Andersen's testimony, and chuckled when a lawyer asked him to respond to Andersen's "under the breath" comment.

"That would require an officer with some incredible hearing," Wightman said, according to USA Today.
