Judge pays off 12-year-old parking ticket
FLINT (AP) -- A Michigan judge who had a $50 parking ticket in his name that dated back 12 years has paid up.
The Flint Journal reports Genesee County Circuit Court Chief Judge Archie Hayman made the payment last Friday after a story about the ticket was published on MLive.com
Hayman says he learned about the ticket last Thursday from a reporter for The Flint Journal and paid because it was "the right thing to do." Hayman says the 2000 ticket was issued on a car that he had bought in his name for his mother. Court records had erroneously indicated that the case was closed.
Hayman says he would have paid earlier had he known the ticket existed.
