What's the cost of a parking ticket in Muncie, Indiana? A donation of cat food or supplies for a local animal shelter.
In an effort to help the Muncie Animal Care and Services Shelter, the Muncie Police Department asked violators to pay their parking tickets in cat food. The request came after a couple of officers toured the shelter and found that it was running short on supplies to care for over 350 cats and kittens.
— Muncie Police July 19, 2019 Although the offer covered drivers with multiple parking tickets, it did not include handicap parking violations or any violation that would have to run through the court system or state, according to the Facebook post. "I don't know if the police department plans on doing this again, but we're incredibly grateful to them and the community. Their response was overwhelming," Ashley Honeycutt, the shelter's office manager, told CNN.
