<text>  CNNEarly to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and . . . a criminal? A sanitation worker in an Atlanta suburb already served two weekends in jail -- and faced several more until officials relented Monday-- after authorities charged him for doing his job too early in the morning. Kevin McGill, a garbage collector in Sandy Springs, Georgia, had been sentenced to a total of 30 days in jail for violating the citys noise ordinance that states that trash collection must be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. He was cited one recent morning after starting work about 5 a.m. McGill said that when he appeared in court, he was stunned when he learned hed have to serve time for collecting garbage too early. The solicitor said, Its automatic jail time, McGill told CNN affiliate WSB. McGill said it was the first time hed violated the ordinance, but the solicitor didnt want to hear nothing I had to say. I was shocked, McGill told WSB. City spokeswoman Sharon Kraun said McGill appeared in court with his employer and agreed to a plea deal, which included a 30-day jail sentence. The court said the sentence could be served on weekends, and Kraun confirmed Monday that McGill already spent two weekends behind bars. After news of McGills punishment went viral, the solicitors office announced Monday that prosecutors would amend his sentence, saying in a statement, The actions of the court with regards to Mr. McGills sentence for violating the citys noise laws was disproportionate to a first-time offense. As such, the court has amended its sentence to time served and further probation is suspended, the statement said. Chief prosecutor Bill Riley told WSB that the jail sentence was his idea because, he said, fines dont seem to work. The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail, McGill said. Still, McGill said being locked up with real criminals was hard, and so was being away from his family. I just want this to be over with, he told WSB before getting word of the time served adjustment. Im away from my family, my wife, and shes got to take care of the two little boys and I have four dogs.
