A New
Jersey man allegedly told court officials that he was his blind twin
brother - who didn't exist - to get out of several traffic tickets.
Police
said that Olawale Agoro, of Hackensack, told municipal court judges and
clerks repeatedly that his name was Tony and that it was his brother
who had racked up the tickets.
Agoro, 58, would go into court, identify himself as Tony and request that his court date be postponed
.
The alleged incidents began on July 31 when a Maywood Police Officer pulled over Agoro and issued five motor vehicle summonses.
He then appeared in Maywood Municipal Court in September, identifying himself as Tony and claiming he was legally blind.
The
police officer who had pulled him over, Matthew Parodi, was in the
courtroom and claimed he saw Agoro pass papers back and forth in court
without difficulty.
