PARKING METER GOOD SAMARITAN INNOCENT

The Eugene parking meter good samaritan has been acquitted.  A Eugene judge ruled that the city prosecutor had n0t proven that Ben Bond threatened to commit a crime against meter maid Maria Velasquez.  Bond went so far as to say that Velasquez lied in court when she testified that he told her he was going to keep her from doing her job, and called her names in a profanity-laced tirade.  Witnesses for Bond said he seemed calm at the time and Velasquez did not seem frightened as she testified.  After the acquittal, Bond said he would express his displeasure and race ahead of a meter maid to feed meters all over again.
