Tow Owners Arrested Over Billing

Gregory Gaylord and Garrison Gaylord, the owners of Southern Wrecker and Recovery of Jacksonville, Fla., were arrested for allegedly overbilling customers and clients. The company had been used by local law enforcement agencies. Both JSO and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) had been using the company in their call rotation to tow away vehicles involved in crashes. As a result of the action, both agencies have stopped working with the company. FHP listed multiple cases in which people were billed for unauthorized charges and warned that if it continued, the company would be removed from FHP’s rotation. The Gaylords have been released after posting $75,000 bonds. Source: https://www.news4jax.com/
