Florida Police Ticket Driver for Using Cell Phone with a Hand She Doesn't Have
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A Florida woman, Kathleen Thomas, received a $116 traffic ticket for allegedly holding her cell phone with her right hand while driving. The twist? Thomas was born without a right hand. The incident occurred in Lake Worth and was captured on body camera footage, which went viral on social media. During the stop, Thomas humorously pointed out her missing limb, but the officer insisted he saw her with a phone. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office later dismissed the ticket after reviewing the circumstances. Thomas expressed discomfort with the interaction but noted the importance of accepting differences in physical abilities.
