Mich. mayor gets speeding warning, demands ticket
[April 18, 2009] WARREN, Mich. (AP) -- 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. Fouts told The Detroit News that he "had to set an example." Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
