According to an arrest affidavit, Phillips was seen directing traffic into a parking lot along Biscayne Boulevard near Northeast Fourth Street.
A woman told police that Phillips had charged her $20 for parking and handed her a receipt ticket. However, police said Phillips didn't have a license to conduct business in the parking lot.
Police said the arresting officer recognized Phillips as the same man who had been arrested the day before for having phony parking admission tickets.
Phillips was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. His bond was set at $1,001.
