MIDDLETOWN, Ohio鈥揂n appeals court has agreed with an Ohio woman who said her parking citation should be tossed because the village law was missing a comma.
Andrea Cammelleri says she shouldn鈥檛 have been issued a citation in 2014 based on the wording of the law enacted by the village of West Jefferson.
The law lists several types of vehicles that can鈥檛 be parked longer than 24 hours, including a 鈥渕otor vehicle camper,鈥� with the comma missing between 鈥渧ehicle鈥� and 鈥渃amper.鈥�
Cammelleri says her pickup truck did not fit that definition.
The village says the law鈥檚 meaning was clear in context, but Judge Robert Hendrickson of the 12th Ohio District Court of Appeals says in last week鈥檚 ruling that West Jefferson should amend the law if it wants it read differently.
