CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs did not show up for his court appearance on Thursday, which was scheduled to challenge a $15 parking ticket he was issued in Cleveland Heights.
Cribbs was issued the ticket last week, and he said that it was written before the time ran out on his parking meter. He then posted a photo of the ticket on Twitter, along with a picture of the meter that showed he had eight minutes remaining.
Cribbs said he had plans to fight the ticket, even though it cost $50 in court fees to challenge the $15 ticket. Police said that the ticket was issued when the meter was expired, but then someone on the street added more money.
He was scheduled to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, but he emailed the bailiff earlier in the day saying that he would not be able to attend. During court on Thursday, prosecutors argued that Judge Deane Buchanan should issue an arrest warrant for Cribbs, but she declined.
Cribbs has been issued a continuance and a new court date has not been set.
