FOX NEWS - $300 for a McDonald’s hash brown?
One Connecticut man may have to pay that price. Not to the restaurant chain, but as a fine to the Westport police.
Jason Stiber was pulled over and ticketed for distracted driving last April for using a handheld phone behind the wheel, but he claimed it was a case of mistaken identity and that what he was actually holding was a hash brown.
Stiber fought the ticket and lost, but was back in court in Norwalk last week to appeal the ruling.
