A PARKING ticket turned into a one-way ticket to the police station for an Oban hotel guest who blew his top at the fine.
‘It is an appalling over-reaction to getting a ticket,’ said Sheriff Ruth Anderson QC, who called for reports on James McKie, of 19 Northwood Road, Tullibody, Alloa, after he appeared before the town’s sheriff court last week as a first-time offender at the age of 54.
‘You should be utterly ashamed of yourself,’ she said, adding that she wanted to know more about his background before passing sentence.
