Aiexpress – The trouble began at 11:35 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14, on the 500 block of 12 Street S., when Arlington officers were dispatched to assist Public Service Aid with a parking ticket involving a vehicle.
Police stated the vehicle had fraudulent tags and a hidden Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
