A Chicago woman is trying to get out of paying a parking fine that has snowballed to more than $100,000.
WBBM Radio reports that Jennifer Fitzgerald filed a lawsuit last year against the city over the $105,000 worth of tickets that police piled up on her car.
The car was left for nearly three years in an O’Hare International Airport parking lot.
WBBM says a judge dismissed the lawsuit on Wednesday and pressed the parties to try to reach a settlement.
Fitzgerald says she should not be held responsible because her ex-boyfriend abandoned the car in an employee parking lot at the airport.
She says the car is worth only about $600.
The suit also names her former boyfriend.
It has been reported that the city has offered to settle the fine for $2,500, but Fitzgerald says she cannot afford that amount.
