It was definitely not the lunch break most were expecting.
In a last minute, rare move to get a trial started, an Edmonton judge dispatched court sheriffs to an LRT station Thursday.
The officers were ordered to hand out summons to transit users over the age of 19.

Each were given a piece of paper for their parking and $11 for lunch.
