Recently, an 89-year old Carter County man received a ticket from a red light camera in Kingsport.
That may not sound like news, but the ticket that Ray Tolley got in the mail, clearly shows some discrepancies.
Tolley has a 1990 Ford pick-up, not a white Mustang, and the numbers on the license plates are off by one number.
Now, Tolley's son David is trying to get the ticket mix-up resolved, before it can tarnish his overall good driving record.
"I will some way get a hold of them, and try to get this straightened out, 'cause Daddy don't drive a whole lot, but he needs ever now and then, to go maybe to Hampton, or something to pick up a little something, and I'm not around to get him. I don't want anything to go on his record." ,said David Tolley.
While 11Connects was at the Tolley home, David was able to contact the Kingsport Police Department by telephone. The officer told him to fill out one of the forms that came with the ticket, and that should resolve the matter.
Kingsport Deputy Chief of Police David Quillen said that over forty-thousand red light camera citations have been sent out, and only a handful had been sent out mistakenly.
Quillen said that when mistakes are made on the red light tickets, they are usually resolved quickly.
