Tarpon Springs To Reimburse People Ticketed At 22 Fake Signs


TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. -- Tarpon Springs police said they issued more than 200 parking tickets in a two-year span because a local developer posted fake "no parking" signs around a restaurant.

According to a report released this week, Tarpon Springs police Chief Robert Kochen said Mike Bronson has acknowledged he installed the 22 signs around the Tarpon Turtle restaurant.

He had previously denied posting the signs.

Bronson told police he installed the signs because the restaurant's customers caused parking problems.

Officials are now trying to figure out if any outstanding parking ticket warrants have been issued to drivers who haven't paid tickets for parking in the marked zone. The city also wants to try to reimburse drivers who paid fines.

1. Given that this was Florida, I'm surprised
it's not named "Tampon Springs"...
