Driver Fined For Ignoring Blackout in Troy
Royal Simmons, 26, of route two, told Judge James F. Byron he believed he had a right to drive to work during the blackout test and paid a $10 fine as the only violator of Wednesday’s blackout in Troy. Sergeant Joseph Schultz said Simmons became abusive when told he could not proceed. Simmons pled guilty and paid the fine. Deputy state civilian protection director John J. Farrell said Army signals were issued and some communities may not have received the yellow signal. signals varied as planes flew and reports from towns like Poughkeepsie indicated non receipt. It will take days to learn which communities got which signals.
