Boy, 10, ticketed for improper seat belt use

A 10-year-old Central Texas boy has been given a ticket for wearing his seat belt incorrectly.

Fourth-grader Marshall May says he was in a minivan's passenger seat when he stuck his head out the window and his seat belt slipped. A Leander police officer pulled over the van that Marshall's 19-year-old aunt was driving and gave the boy a ticket.

Texas law says the adult in the car is at fault when a child isn't properly secured by a seat belt. The aunt was not ticketed.

Interim Leander City Manager Robert Powers said the officer made a mistake but the court decides whether to dismiss the ticket.

Marshall printed his name on the ticket, saying "I don't have a signature because I'm 10 years old."
