KC Tower Speaks Out After Arrest: “It’s Harassment”

Longtime tower Allen “Jay” Bloodworth, known in the Kansas City metro for running Private Party Towing, appeared in Jackson County court Thursday after being arrested earlier this week on eight felony charges—four for vehicle theft and four for forgery.

The case centers on cars towed during a high school prom event on April 14. Bloodworth says his team followed protocol, towing from a church lot with permission from venue staff. However, state investigators claim a required witness signature was missing and records were allegedly falsified.

“I’m innocent, and I’ll prove it,” Bloodworth said after court. “The venue made a mistake. We did everything right.”

His attorney argues outdated KCPD systems are fueling the case and warns towers could be unfairly targeted.

With Kansas City officials pushing towing reform, Bloodworth’s next hearing is May 29—leaving many in the industry watching closely.  Source: https://fox4kc.com/
