Man valets car in OTR, gets $300 parking ticket

Karl Jackson of Fairfield, Ohio thinks a rogue valet driver got him two parking tickets last week, while he attended a symphony performance at Music Hall in Over-the-Rhine. The total fine he faces? $300. "It was $50 for parking in a no parking zone and $250 for parking in front of a fire hydrant," Jackson said. "When we came back," Jackson said, "he says 'it's parked over there,' so we walked over and got in the car and drove off." According to the citation, the car was had been sitting in front of the 14th street hydrant when a Cincinnati Parking Enforcement office came by at 8:30 pm. Jackson says he didn't realize at first that the paper under his wiper wasn't a junk flier.  So he was long gone from OTR when he discovered he had been ticketed. So it was too late to argue with anyone. "We pulled off, got out and saw it was two tickets."
