Missing comma gets woman out of a ticket

In West Jefferson, Ohio, there is an ordinance that states: certain types of vehicles cannot be parked longer than 24 hours, including “any motor vehicle camper, trailer, farm implement and/or non-motorized vehicle.” If you look closely, you can see that there is a comma missing after “motor vehicle.”

A woman named Andrea Cammelleri used that to her advantage when she was cited for parking her 1993 Ford pickup for more than 24 hours. She claimed her pickup didn’t fit into any of the categories listed. Although the village says the meaning is clear, the judge sided with Andrea and let her off. The judge said they should amend the law if they want to enforce it.
