A Florida woman received a traffic citation after a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy accused her of holding a cellphone in her right hand while driving, even though she does not have a right hand. The case went viral online before authorities dropped the charge.
The traffic stop happened on Feb. 11 in Lake Worth Beach, Palm Beach County. According to the citation, the deputy stopped the woman around 8:04 a.m. on North Dixie Highway and accused her of violating Florida’s distracted driving law by holding a wireless device while operating a vehicle.
