(EASTPOINT, Fla.) – Be aware of where you park if you travel to the Florida Panhandle!
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is giving out much more than a ticket if you park illegally.
They are deploying the ‘Barnacle’ on illegally parked cars in the area of Alligator Point.
The cost to get the Barnacle off your vehicle is $408 but there's a discount available.
“We know what you’re thinking..”holy cow, that’s a crazy fee!” Not so fast, you gotta return the device to the drop box at 98 Tom Robert’s Road, Alligator Point to get $300 back,” said Sheriff AJ Smith.
He added, “When you park legally you won’t get one. It’s really that simple. Stay safe, park legally, and enjoy all that the Forgotten Coast has to offer!”
