OCEAN CITY – A resort commission voted last week to uphold the suspension of a tow license pending adjudication of criminal and civil citations against a local tow company.
Last Friday, the Ocean City Police Commission voted unanimously to uphold Police Chief Ross Buzzuro’s decision to suspend a tow license held by 1st Street Towing. Buzzuro told commission members last week the suspension, issued on Aug. 4, was based on the results of a criminal investigation into the company’s towing operations.
“There have a number of violations that we’ve uncovered that resulted in a combination of 49 criminal and civil violations …,” he said. “That led me to Aug. 4, when I made the decision to suspend their license at least throughout the rest of year, pending adjudication.”
Ocean City Police Department Officer Harry Miller said his investigation into 1st Street Towing began in June of 2020 after receiving a complaint against the company.
During the course of the investigation, Miller said he recorded 47 incidents and multiple violations – including incomplete tow slips and affidavits, illegible signatures, unauthorized tow drivers and missing contracts between the tow company and property representatives.
Regardless how many years of service, Piss on the islands cornflakes – you get the horns!
Who ownes First Street Towing?
Americans
Notice that one time in the article it mentioned a location with no blue tow sign. You pay the city for that tow sign and stickers I believe yearly.
I bet this poor guy on 1st Street towed somebody out of the OC good ole boys club out of a private lot that wasn’t current on their sticker and they decided to teach him a lesson.
This has been going on for years! The reason OC Police Chief Ross Buzzuro finally suspended the license is that he did not get paid the past few weeks under the table.
