PO Torres approached, and informed him that he could be issued an additional summons for parking in a no standing zone, at which point [redacted] left.
Later, [redacted] returned to Shore Parkway and East 11th Street because he wanted to ask PO Torres a question. [redacted] pulled up directly in front of PO Torres' vehicle.
