Police Charge Man For Filming Accident

A local motorist is in trouble with the law after police say they caught them filming a collision scene.

The man received a ticket for driving while holding a cellphone and faces a $615 fine, three points and a three-day license suspension upon conviction.

Police were dispatched to an accident on Tuesday morning at the corner of John and High Streets.

Officers say they saw a man driving slow down and hold his phone outside of the driver-side window to record video of the collision.

The driver obstructed traffic and drove right up to first responders while they worked the scene.
