 The mayor of Crosby has been ticketed for falsely reporting a crime after a man with a restraining order against him allegedly followed him into a Dairy Queen. According to a ticket provided by the attorney representing James Hunter, the mayor was at a Dairy Queen last Friday when Tom McCartin entered the business. Hunter has been charged with multiple felonies including theft by Swindle for an alleged con against McCartin. The mayor's lawyer says that McCartin gave him the finger as Hunter drove up and then followed him inside. While Hunter has received the ticket for falsely reporting the incident, his lawyer says McCartin should be the one being charged.
