Plus, the article says the police went to the fraternity house to interview the guy. Makes me think the guy WAS active, but when the fraternity heard about this they moved him to alumnUS status.
A few years ago on my campus we had a fraternity get in some trouble for alcohol-related charges (the cops found out when a pledge showed up in the hospital.) Anyway, the (national) fraternity disbanded the chapter... and all the chapter members became alumni.
I think it has something to do with legal issues.... I think the responsibilities of Nationals (and legal ramifications) are different if the member in question is an alumn vs. active. Plus, they probably don't want Ticket McTicketer in the meetings when they're discussing what to do with him next.
Oh. And the tickets ARE illegal. I think $200 makes it a felony (anyone know?) so if he was writing tickets for $20/apiece and collected 10 of them, he's probably facing charges on general fraud, maybe impersonating a police officer, maybe mail fraud.
