Towers Unite in Support of Wounded Indiana Tower
Between 100 and 150 wreckers from around Indiana rallied in front of Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis Friday night to support Matthew Roberts, who was shot several times on March 25 as he stopped to help a stranded driver.
“All your worries of competing against each other is out of the way. We are a big family. The guy who shot Matt don’t realize he’s messing with a huge family,” Charles Gamble of Cheap Towing and Recovery said.
The suspect, Joseph Jackson of Raytown, Missouri is facing several charges including attempted murder, aggravated battery, and carrying a handgun without a license.
“He needs to understand, he messed his life up. He shot our brother, just imagine if he had shot a police officer,” said Gamble.
“Hopefully people understand that, that it’s not just taking someone’s car or impounding a car. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with a service and going out and assisting the police, assisting the fire, and assisting the people that are broke down,” said James Coy, a former tow truck driver.
