OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — An Oklahoma City man was surprised when a tow bill he thought would be a couple hundred dollars at most turned out to be nearly $1,000, with the tow company refusing to give him his car back until he pays. The tow truck driver claims he’s legally allowed to charge everything he did.
It was an icy Monday last month, when Lawrence Wesson was trying to make some money.

“I was out doing DoorDash because doing DoorDash in the ice storms, they tend to pay a lot more,” Wesson told News 4.
Unfortunately for him—that day ended with his car spinning out on that ice in Edmond, too damaged to drive back to his house near Yukon.
Police came by and called him a tow truck.
He says a driver named J.B. with Edmond-based All City Wrecker showed up, and loaded up his car.
But Wesson says J.B. refused to tow the car back to his house.
“And I quote exactly what [J.B.] said… ‘I will not take a risk of ruining a $100,000 truck for a couple hundred dollars,’” Wesson told News 4.
