Los Angeles ? An 82-year-old woman who was given a jaywalking ticket for taking too long to cross a busy street won’t have to pay the $114 fine.

Mayvis Coyle had become something of a sensation after her case was publicized in April. Senior citizen advocates were outraged at her treatment. News camera crews showed up at her door unannounced.

Last week, however, Coyle received a mailed notice that a court commissioner had found her guilty of jaywalking but suspended the fine.

“It sounds like a compromise, like they’re trying to save face,” Coyle’s son, Jim Coyle, told the Los Angeles Daily News, which first reported the ticketing. “We’re grateful for everyone’s support.”

Coyle was vacationing in Colorado and unavailable for comment.

Police said Coyle entered a busy intersection Feb. 15 after the red “Don’t Walk” sign had started blinking.

Coyle said the white “Walk” signal was flashing when she started across the intersection with her cane in one hand and groceries in the other.
