Sharpiegate In Washington: Driver Edits Expired Tab With Marker
SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WA — This driver got credit for his coloring skills, but he also got a ticket.
A Washington State Patrol trooper pulled over a driver in Snohomish County this week and noticed something off about the driver's car tab. On closer inspection, the trooper could see the driver had used a Sharpie to turn "2018" into "2019."
"Their coloring skills are kind of on point but not good enough," Trooper Heather Axtman said on Twitter about the incident.
The driver was let go with a $228 fine.
