*Ald. Timothy Cullerton, 38th, is alleged to have ordered police to give tickets to a man who had parked in front of his sister-in-law's garage. Cullerton said police initially wanted to arrest the man for being verbally abusive to him and his sister-in-law, and he told them to instead write the tickets.

"I said, 'I don't want to see the guy locked up, but he was parked in front of her garage, and then he parked in a street cleaning zone, so just give him those tickets.' Wouldn't have mattered if it was my sister-in-law or anybody else," he said.
