"The officer informed the woman that the scooter was not hers to move and she should have notified the owner."
What happened to "Will be towed at owner's risk and expense"?
"According to police, the 40-year-old driver reported she dropped her cell phone and tried to pick it up off the car floor."
So she wasn't texting and she wasn't talking on it, but it will still be reported as cell phone distraction.
