I can’t think of any reason why a witness to would go on record with a made-up story about hearing a “laying on the horn”.<<<<<<<<<<

Ok, here is Lansberry’s account, again, from the article: “Lansberry and her daughter were in front of Merola in the drive-through lane that afternoon. After getting their double cheeseburgers, they pulled into a nearby parking space to eat...Lansberry, 60, said she heard someone behind her laying on the horn, then looked back to see Parco at Merola’s window...”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you are parked in a lot and hear someone laying on the horn, turn around to see what’s going on and see a cop standing at someone’s window, chances are the horn honking came from another customer, not Parco. Did he leap out of his car and appear at her door in a split second?

Nobody but Lansberry ties any honking to Parco, and she never saw him do it; her account puts him at the grandma’s window at the point she hears it and turns to look.

If in fact he did commit felonious honking, I must paraphrase Johnny C: “If the horn got sounded, the cop gets grounded”.

You are a liar! You have no integrity and no honor. If you have the brains and balls, which I doubt, go back and read my posts, then apologize. Otherwise, pound sand.

She was charged with blocking a drive thru? No. So what does that have to do with whether she committed a crime or not.

No I’m not a liar or a hot head. Evidently you cannot say the same. Bye

She was charged with disorderly conduct. Evidently she because very pissed off when the cop started giving her a hard time for being illegally parked. She was not illegally parked and the cop did not have cause to question her at that time.

I don’t understand your second sentenance as it contradicts your first one.

Your point was that the driveway was wide enough. My point is that she wasn't charged with blocking a driveway, so it doesn't really matter if it was wide. Of course, I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of scenarious from thousands of miles away, but the reality is that you weren't there and have no idea what the situation was.

Either way, being a jack--- to anyone, let alone a LEO is never a good idea. I guess she just learned the lesson a little later than most, but I'm glad she learned that being old and a woman does't exempt one from acting properly.
