A street performer has just received the first ticket for a by the Ocean City police for failing to sign up for a designated spot.
Lt. Mark Pacini with the Ocean City Police Department told the Salisbury Daily Times that Tony Christ asked the night before the citation what he had to do to get cited.
The paper says that the incident occurred on September 5th at around 8:15 p.m. at the corner of Wicomico Street and the Boardwalk.
He got a $200 fine.
The new regulations went into effect this summer and generated a great deal of criticism from the street performers.
But Pacini says that for the most part the street performers have been abiding by the rule.
