Police Chief Writes Himself Ticket

September 14th, 2012

This story was just too weird not to share. This is from WISN.com:

Village of Kewaskum Police Chief Richard Knoebel said he was driving to work when he became distracted by a truck stopping on one side of the street. He said he didn’t see a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign out on the other side of the four-lane road. The chief said he didn’t know he had passed the stopped bus until it was too late. When he realized what he had done, he issued himself a $235 ticket. ”When we get someone for not stopping for a flashing school bus we give them a citation. So I shouldn’t be any different so I did,” Knoebel said. Not only did the chief have to pay a hefty fine, he gave himself a four-point penalty on his license.

It’s a rare enough occurrence to see a cop ticketing another cop, but cop ticketing himself is just weird.
