Man Allegedly Assaults Parking Utility Employee for Writing Ticket

Nobody likes to get parking tickets, but violence is never the answer. 

Last Monday, 48-year-old Alan Rudolph learned this the hard way when he was arrested for allegedly pushing a parking utility employee who was writing him a parking ticket, police said. 

The 28-year-old woman was writing Rudolph a ticket at Tenth and Garden around 3 p.m. on Monday, according to police. Rudolph stood in front of the car's licence plates, police said, to obstruct the woman's view.  

When she kept writing the ticket, Rudolph allegedly became very angry and pushed the woman, causing her to fall to the ground, police said. 

After police arrived at the scene, Rudolph apologized to the woman, according to reports.
