HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- A South Florida woman who was ticketed while walking her certified service dog in Hollywood has prompted further training for police officers.

On Wednesday evening, Denise Lanier was walking on the Hollywood Beach broadwalk with Luke, her certified mobility service dog, when a police officer stopped her and issued a $50 citation.

"He said, 'Hey, come over here,'" Lanier told Local 10's Jeff Weinsier.

Lanier, who has multiple sclerosis, said she tried to explain to officer Greg Saladino it was legal for her to walk with Luke on the broadwalk.

"He just kept arguing with me," she said. "He told me he regularly ticketed people with service dogs."

Lanier said she showed Saladino Luke's identification and explained that the American's with Disabilities Act legally allows him to go anywhere with her.

"He told me I could just as easily walk on Surf Road, which is a street lined by an alley with dumpsters. It's the most dangerous place for me to walk. The asphalt is broken up, there are potholes and cars," she said.

Lanier said they more she tried to explain her rights, the more agitated the officer got.

"He just kept saying, I don't have a choice," Lanier said. "This is the law and I have to do it. He told me 'What you're doing is illegal and you will have to pay the fine.'"

Local 10 contacted Hollywood Police and they agreed with Lanier.

"In this case, it was a mistake and should not been written," Lt. Manny Marino said.

Meanwhile, ADA attorneys are shocked by the incident.

"In my opinion, this individual who was rightly entitled on the Hollywood broardwalk, was harassed unnecessarily by the police," said ADA attorney Douglas Schapiro.

The ticket that Lanier was issued was voided and additional training has been scheduled for officers.
