RALEIGH, N.C. — The Raleigh Police Department decided to void the citation given to a woman who got in trouble after double-checking an officer's identity.
A police officer knocked on Marie Venezia's door at 9 p.m. last Tuesday night to ask her about damage to a neighbor's fence.
In the middle of the conversation, Venezia told the officer she wanted to call 911 and verify who he was. When she came back, the officer gave her a ticket for obstructing justice.
The Raleigh Police Department told WRAL that the department will learn from the experience and use it in training sessions.
