Summary
North Carolina’s Attorney General Josh Stein is sending a clear warning to towing companies: break the law, and you’ll pay. A landmark judgment against A1 Towing and its owner, David Satterfield, mandates $30,000 in restitution and sets a precedent for cracking down on predatory practices—including targeting Black drivers, towing without authorization, and charging sky-high fees. Residents like Ken Koontz, who was towed from a Bojangles and charged thousands, are demanding stronger laws and regulation, especially since a proposed statewide towing commission failed to pass. With this new legal framework, Stein’s office is making it clear: lawful towing is the only way to profit in North Carolina.
