Man learns casino losses not deductible
MEMPHIS, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Police in Memphis said they arrested a man who allegedly posed as a parking lot attendant on numerous occasions and charged motorists $5 to park.
Investigators said Anthony Merriweather, 50, was arrested Sunday and charged with criminal impersonation and criminal trespass after some of his alleged victims told police that he had charged them $5 to park in a lot at Peabody Place and Rufus Thomas, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Monday.
A police affidavit said Merriweather had previously been arrested for charging people to park at the same location, but "he continues to return and act like he is a lot attendant."
