2007 The Joey Dudley parking saga

[Cajunbander]

Has anyone heard about Joey Dudley? He's our Parking and Transit Director. He was on the news accused of stealing thousands of dollars in monies from parking tickets. I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything more about it, all I've really heard is that he got arrested, and that the UL Police have been investigating him since January.

I always knew those parking tickets were bull. KATC interviewed a student about it, who said, "The parking tickets are like trophies people keep in there dorms." Nobody takes them that seriously.

UL — The University of Louisiana’s Parking and Transit Director was booked on theft charges this week for allegedly stealing money from the university’s parking program. William “Joey” Dudley, 41, was arrested Tuesday on campus. He will be put on administrative leave with pay, UL Director of Public Relations Julie Simon-Dronet said. UL Police Chief Ray Lucas said that the cash theft was allegedly from one of the three sources of income in the department — parking fines, pay lots and parking stickers. He said he would not specify which source until the investigation is complete. The rest of the story By CORY BIRDSONG Special to The Advocate

When I was in college, I didn't take them that seriously either......until they put a boot on my car. It took a $480 check to pay off my debt, which isn't all that terrible considering it was for 5 semesters worth of parking tickets. Some people pay up to $200 a semester to park, so I figured that paying an average of just under $100 a semester to park wasn't that bad. Plus, I parked in some pretty good spots. I figured that if I am going to get a ticket, that I might as well get the most bang for my buck.

Tickets were $10 a pop when I was in school. I think they have since doubled to $20 a ticket now, which is ridiculous.

Yes, they are $20 a pop now. In the old days, if you didn't register your vehicle with the university they couldn't do you anything because they didn't know who you were. Then, a few years back they hooked up with the DMV and run your plates. Now, if you dont pay your tickets you dont get your schedule for the next semester.

i used to put the same parking ticket back on my window and that worked for a while. I also never registered my vehicle with the university. Also if you went in the out of griffin hall my car could fit through the gap around the arm so i just parked in there for free.

I don`t know what kind of boot they have these days, but back in the 80`s if you let most of the air out of your tires you could get the boot off.

I have donated $20 on more than one occasion.

I was donating my time doing Edith Dupre' research on the history of ULSports for the .net community.

I just wish they would have sent my parking donations to ULAthletics.

For all the publicity that you have provided to the public about UL, and your unquestionable support of the University, I am of the opinion that they should provide you, free of charge, with a parking pass annually for any restricted parking area on campus. Its the least they can do for the hours you devote in researching subjects that place the University in the limelight.
