FORT LEE, N.J. — An officer dressed in a Donald Duck costume caught dozens of motorists who failed to yield to a pedestrian on Halloween.
According to ABC 7, the program to catch the drivers comes at a time where 40 people in the area have been struck by vehicles in this year alone.
The 6-foot-4 Donald Duck was often passed and honked at while attempting to cross the street.
Some of the ticketed drivers claim the sting was unfair.
“It scared me,” Karen Haigh told ABC 7. “It was a huge duck. If it was a person dressed normally, I think all those people would have stopped.”
Haigh plans to fight the $230 ticket.
“When you see a pedestrian, child, adult or duck, stop,” Police Chief Keith Bendul said. “Let them cross and proceed with your day.”
