Man called cops on self over parking spot

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Police in Connecticut said they arrested a man who reported himself for parking illegally in a handicapped spot, then allegedly became aggressive with officers.

Bridgeport police said Michael Andes, 29, called police about 2 a.m. Thursday and told them he had "purposely parked his vehicle" in a handicapped spot on Howe Avenue despite not having a handicapped parking permit, the Connecticut Post, Bridgeport, reported Friday.

Police Lt. Robert Kozlowsky said officers located the car and Andes told them the police "aren't doing their job."

"Officers attempted to detain him, but he pulled away and took an aggressive stance at the officers," the spokesman said.

Kozlowsky said Andes did not comply with orders from officers, who then used a stun gun on him.

Andes was charged with second-degree breach of peace and interfering with a police officer. He was also given an infraction ticket for parking in a handicap space without a permit.
