Paranoid Debtor Chases and Shoots at Repo Man

Debtor wasn’t even out for repossession

Hialeah, FL – September 25, 2024 – When a borrower gets behind on car payments, they can get a little paranoid. So paranoid, that when they see a Repo Man they can make assumptions that lead them to ram their truck into the tow truck, pull a gun on him and then chase him for miles while firing on him. Of course, none of this was necessary, he wasn’t even out for repo.

The unnamed Repossessor was only driving through the neighborhood checking plates in the area of West 21th Court and 56th Street. Little did he know that Daniel Betancur, of Hialeah had seen him. Enraged by paranoia or vengeance from a different encounter, Betancur proceeded to ram his truck into the tow truck.

Producing a gun, he allegedly aimed it at the repossession agent. Wisely, the agent fled, but Betancur wasn’t done with him yet and he took chase.

For a reported miles long chase, Betancur allegedly fired numerous shots at the agent until an officer in Medley intervened and took the man into custody.
