WTG Magistrate Jeff Bailey !

UNION, S.C. -- Ragheem Smith has to tell the world he's not disabled.

He has to apologize, too.

Smith was ticketed for parking illegally in a handicapped space in front of a grocery store in Union, S.C.

He told a magistrate he couldn't afford the $325 fine, and couldn't miss work to spend 30 days in jail.

So, Magistrate Jeff Bailey imposed an alternative sentence.

Thursday, Smith had to stand outside the Bi-Lo grocery with a sign that read: "I am not handicapped. I just parked there, sorry."

Smith said he's learned his lesson and won't be parking in anymore handicapped spots.
