Fails to see sign but pays the fine
Carl J. Nordell, New York artist staying in the area, says he was unjustly arrested and fined after passing a stop sign near the Wiscasset bridge on Edgecomb road. He paid $10 plus $5.75 costs after court, noting two cars ahead obscured the sign and the time difference at court. He claims the offense was a first one and cites being unaware of daylight saving time. Nordell is painting a scene at Elmhurst.
