Suburban NYC cop tickets his own mayor - twice By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MAMARONECK, N.Y. - Can you beat City Hall? The question is pending for a police officer who ticketed his mayor. In March, Officer Michael Petrillo pulled over Mayor Kathleen Savolt in the bedroom community of Mamaroneck, just outside of New York City, for using her cellphone while driving. The mayor argued the incoming call was an emergency and she was in an area where she couldn't pull over. A judge agreed and dismissed the case Sept. 15, but Petrillo wasn't done. That night, he rang Savolt's doorbell and issued a second ticket, saying he thought the judge's decision was wrong. "He said to me, 'I think the ticket was unfairly dismissed, so I'm issuing a duplicate ticket,"' Savolt said Tuesday. "So then, once I was issued a second ticket, clearly in some people's minds it's not a legal ticket because the case had been closed." Savolt's next court date had not yet been scheduled. Police Chief Steven Anderson wouldn't comment. cnews.canoe.ca quizlaw.com
