Pima Sheriff Uses License Tags Illegally
A Tucson man questions how the Pima County sheriff's department obtained Ohio license plates for an official Plymouth station wagon. The plates ZZ-6665 were issued to Rudolph Gainok in 1946 for a Buick sedan and remain his property. Arizona law requires transfer of plates to the vehicle, and Gainok plans to remove them, while Undersheriff Phebus cites the car as an undercover vehicle. No official records connect the plates to the sheriff's car, and authorities believe the tags came from a courthouse pile of old tags.
