New York police ticketed Hoi Lewis for allegedly setting up a table on a Brooklyn sidewalk to sell Girl Scout cookies without a license.
“No Girl Scouts were seen by officers at the time the summons was issued,” said Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne.
But the suspect’s 13-year-old daughter, Grace Marie, disputes the account and says her father was only helping her deliver pre-ordered cookies in the neighborhood. The girl said she was there and that her father was preparing the orders when police pulled up in a car.
