Driver Attempts To Tow Wrong Mercedes
And in another case, a woman was charged with DUI. In these police incidents, an arrest is merely an accusation, not evidence of a conviction.
In a dispute June 21 around 11 p.m. in a store parking lot in the 8300 block of Golf Road, a woman told police that a tow truck driver had gotten into her white Mercedes and was trying to tow it, according to the report.
The tow truck driver said it was a mistake, and another white Mercedes, which was the vehicle she was supposed to tow, was parked just a few spaces away, the report indicated. The tow driver said she was not given a license plate number of the car she was supposed to tow.
The victim said she wanted the incident documented with a police report; the tow truck driver said she would reimburse any damages, though there did not appear to be any, according to the report.
