She gave him a $115 parking ticket while he was delivering toys to children.
The 60-year-old retired schoolteacher was riding a horse-drawn carriage and handing out toys and candy canes. An SUV carrying the toys and protecting the horse from traffic was double parked next to him.

Local politician Martin Golden calls the parking ticket "ridiculous."
Police won't comment on it.
