WARREN, Mich. — A Michigan mayor says a warning wasn’t enough after he was stopped for speeding. So he asked for a ticket instead — and got it.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts was pulled over Monday on the way to City Hall for going 45 mph in a 40-mph zone. The officer told him to watch it next time.
Fouts says he was uncomfortable the entire day with just a warning, thinking it might be construed as favoritism. So he called the deputy police commissioner and demanded the ticket.
Police delivered it to Fouts’ office, and Fouts paid the $100 fine.

Driving instructor gets year off in a bad way
A driving instructor who police say was drunk while giving someone a driving lesson can stay out of jail, but will lose his license for a year.
Daniel Winsky, 53, of Salem, Mass., was convicted Thursday of operating under the influence while giving a lesson from the passenger seat of a car. He was sentenced to 18 months’ probation but won’t be a licensed driver for one year.
Winsky was not behind the wheel during the December 2007 lesson in Ipswich, but prosecutors say he was in control of the passenger-side brakes in the specially fitted car and also moved the wheel during the lesson.
