NEW YORK -- A mixup over license plate numbers caused a big headache for an Ohio woman.
Lisa Sims was socked with a $50 traffic ticket for running a red light on a street in Manhattan's Greenwich Village on June 24. A police camera took a picture of a sedan with license plates beginning with the letters "D-O-N."
The problem? Sims was 630 miles away in Middletown, Ohio, when the violation occurred, and she drives a pickup bearing plates that begin with "D-Q-N."
The ticket was thrown out this week, but not before Sims had to spend a long time dealing with the city's Finance Department and mail in proof that the car caught on camera wasn't hers.
A Finance Department spokesman said there's a process for dealing with mixups, and in this case, it worked successfully.
Sims isn't so sure. She said while she didn't want to go to New York City to begin with, she really doesn't want to now.
