Man pays off mother's 1954 parking ticket in Neb.

[November 05, 2011]  YORK, Neb. (AP) -- A parking ticket issued 57 years ago in southeast Nebraska has finally been paid off. The fine: a dime.

York Police Chief Don Klug says a man walked into the station Tuesday with the ticket and payment -- mounted and framed. Klug tells the York News-Times (http://bit.ly/uPLvCV) that the man said he found the ticket among his mother's things and wanted to settle the debt.

The ticket was issued on July 13, 1954, to a vehicle licensed in Oklahoma. The man told Klug that he believed his mother had been visiting York at the time and probably lost track of the citation.

Klug says he plans to hang the framed ticket on the wall of his office in York, about 50 miles west of Lincoln.
