Tow Truck Driver Arrested for Towing a Cop Car

This is what happens when you let your butt-hurt get the better of your common sense.

This Oregon tow truck driver, who was angry about a ticket he had received, decided to hook up to a police car and tow it away. The officer, who was parked in a no-parking zone while responding to a call, was alerted to what was going on and confronted the tow truck driver, Steven Syverson.

Syverson told the officer that he was parked in a fire lane, but all he managed to earn was a trip to the slammer after pulling this stunt. While it seems a bit extreme to believe this guy was taken to jail simply for doing his job, since the officer was parked illegally. However, it stands to reason he probably didn’t exactly handle the situation too well, since his anger led him to act.

Regardless, Syverson should know better that to try to tow a cop car again.
