Man avoids extradition, but not towing bill

A man picked up by the Georgia State Patrol on a North Carolina warrant managed to avoid extradition, but he didn’t get off completely.

According to a Commerce Police Department incident report, the GSP asked an officer to transport the subject, a 23-year-old black male, from a location on Interstate 85 to the Jackson County Jail, from where he would be extradited to Iredell County, NC, to face simple assault charges.

When the paperwork came through at the jail, however, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office noted that it did not intend to extradite the man, so he was released.

The Commerce officer took the man to Seymour’s Towing, which had towed the truck, but the man did not have the $350 needed to get his truck back. The report said the officer drove him to an ATM machine at the Kangaroo convenience store and took him back to Seymour’s to retrieve his vehicle.

There was no indication as to whether the State Patrol cited the man for any traffic violation.

The car had to be towed within the county right???$350.00? Really??Now that's feeding off someone's misfortune.Does Seymour realize we're all struggling?I think that's a rip off.

Margie I wanted to let everyone know all of the facts about article. Seymour's Wrecker Service was called around midnight by the Georgia State Patrol to tow a tractor and trailer off I-85 to a safer place at Seymour's lot. The truck in the article was actually a Tractor with a 53' trailer loaded with product.
Seymour's charged $350.00 for two men and a wrecker to tow of both tractor & loaded trailer to a secure location for the Georgia State Patrol.

My car was towed by Kurt's Towing across the road from QF in Commerce, and he charged me $504. It's all ridiculous anymore. It doesn't cost that much in sweat or gas to bring a truck out and relocate a car.

I wouldnt have paid $504 for my car ot truck to be towed. Most places only charge $75. You must have been towed across the country.
