The hassle began with the October 1979 ticket, when Kelley, who lives at the Jayhawk Towers, returned home from a job at 6 a.m.

"I got back and of course there was no place to park at the Towers," he placed on a chair and would not hurt if I parked at Allen for a couple of hours until someone moved."
WHEN HE RETURNED to the
car, he picked up a ticket
on his pickup truck's windshield.
Kelley appealed the ticket.
"There wasn't any place for me to park," he said. "And there were hardly any cars parked at Allen when I got back to move mine."
FROM THAT DATE, Kelley had 14 days in which to pay the ticket before being charged a $5 late fee.
The appeal was denied and Kelley appealed again. He was notified March 25 that his second appeal had been denied.
Parking records 'records show that
the car was received April 7, 13
days after notification.
Still, Kelley was charged the late fee.
"I wrote them a letter explaining the mistake, but they only wrote back that I insured $0," he said. "I wrote them again, and I insured back from them so I figured it was OK."
At fall 1980 enrollment, however,
Kelley learned that it wasn't OK.

enrollment because they couldn't find my file and they said I owed the $5," be said.
Kelley then went to the parking services office, where he waited for more than two hours while parking services personnel looked for his file.
Finally, one of the workers told
Kleey that they didn't have what they
wanted.
"So I told them that they didn't need these either," he said. "That's when I got mad and took the other tickets."
The following Monday, Kiley was frisked and handcuffed at work, and then taken to court for mugshots. Bail was set at $500.
A TRIAL DATE was set, but the assistant district attorney was unprepared on the day of the trial, ex-ralley to accept a deal he had offered him.
"They told me I could get out of it if I promised to stay out of trouble for six months and admit my guilt," Kelley said. "But I wouldn't do it on principle because everything was their fault anyway, even if it was wrong of me to take those tickets."
Kelley said he missed more than two hours of work to appear at the trial.
A second date was set, but after

speaking with the assistant district attorney and Kearns, Kelley arrived at a settlement.
"I gave them the tickets back and agreed to apologize to the women at Hoch that I took the tickets from," he said. "But I never did apologize."
KELLEY DIDN'T realize he would still owe a court费 even though there would be no trial, and he had to pay $20 or else set a new trial date.
"I already kind of felt like I was tricked," he said. "And so I finally decided to give up."
