Police cite 10-year-old for sloppy seat belt
Police ticketed a 10-year-old Texas boy for not wearing his seat belt properly. Marshall May admits his seat belt became tangled as an aunt drove him home from school, but says he was “really scared” when a cop stopped the car and issued him a citation. “He made me sign my signature,” said May, “but I don’t have a signature because I’m 10 years old.”
