PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — Drivers caught cutting the line for the Anderson Island ferry will soon face a fine.
The Pierce County Council approved a plan last week to ticket people who cut the line.
Starting at the end of June, line cutters will have to pay a $48 fine if they're caught.
County leaders say a Pierce County deputy will patrol the area to watch for drivers trying to push their way ahead of others.
The News Tribune reports Steilacoom leaders will consider approving a similar fine in about a week.
Problems started last summer when a passenger threatened a volunteer working at the dock, Dave Jacobson, vice president of the Anderson Island Citizen Advisory Board told the News Tribune.
