Parking Tickets Can Lead to Jail in Some Cases
City officials note that unpaid parking fines can lead to arrest, though most warrants are executed when arising from other charges or traffic stops. From 2007 to 2009 about 40 percent of $777,000 in parking fines were unpaid, leaving over $300,000 outstanding. Local residents say meters and enforcement stay strict, with few paying promptly.
