Portland cop must pay ticket for illegal parking
July 25, 2008
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland police are not above the parking laws, even if they're hungry.
Officer Chadd Stensgaard, who parked his patrol car illegally while making a dinner-break stop at a Japanese restaurant, must pay a $35 fine, Traffic Court Judge Terry Hannon ruled Wednesday.
The infraction came to light thanks to Eric Bryant, who was at the restaurant with friends when Stensgaard parked in a curbside no-parking zone.
Bryant, an attorney, filed a citizen complaint against the officer in March. AP
