  It's a shame that it took a murder to bring attention to the fact that this community was being extorted by a corrupt towing company

  "Took advantage of hard working poor people" need more politicians who understand this & hold these predators accountable

  The owners of the mobile home park can’t claim they didn’t know this was going on. Lawyers must be salivating over this one.

  Glad these people are being held accountable. Earlier this year my car was towed to a completely separate state more than 40 miles away. Costed me almost $600 to get out and it had not even been there for a full day. It is my belief that most tow companies are absolute Crooks. They hoped that you can't pay the impound fee because it's so ridiculously high and if that's the case then they just get to keep your vehicle and sell it.

  This man gives me hope that not everyone in positions of power have lost their integrity.

  "We towed the Tow Truck".... This is what law enforcement should be in every community.  Salute!

  Been a victim of this very thing, towed my truck from a company parking lot by a 3rd party company for an alleged &nbsp;incorrectly hung parking placard, said they couldn&apos;t read it. Rules were you got 2 warnings before a tow and they had to walk &nbsp;between vehicles to see the placard in the first place just like this case. They skipped the warnings and timed the tow to avoid the daily lunch &amp; shift changes.<br><br> &nbsp;Was $375 after an Uber ride and they were total a**holes about when I got there, wanted to charge me $50 to move other cars they had packed in around mine, that got dropped when I called 911. &nbsp;Barely legal thieves, every one of them

  The tow company operator is lucky in all of the tows that he himself wasn&apos;t shot or killed attempting to steal a vehicle with an unmarked tow truck.

  Polk County is lucky to have a Sheriff that actually cares about people he serves.

  Predatory tow companies are sickening. The relentless pursuit of money. The greed is sickening.
