The Seattle Police Department says the officer responsible
for a police cruiser seen parking in a handicapped spot
will get a stern talking to.
Henry Revelez tells KING 5 a handicapped parking space
he was trying to use at a grocery store was taken up by a
Seattle Police Department cruiser.
“When I walked in the store, I saw him in there looking at
the card rack, birthday cards or thank you cards,” says
Revelez.
Revelez says he has breathing trouble and can’t
walk far. He observed the officer looking over the card
rack seemed fine.
SPD says the officer will get a stern lecture, and
they’re using the opportunity to remind all officers of
appropriate parking procedures.
The fine for illegally using a handicap spot is a
$250.
