This week in Dallas, several ARA board members met with DRN to continue discussing the concerns of many recovery agents. 

The group discussed several topics that ARA believes are negatively impacting the space which LPR technology is contributing to — reminding DRN that ARA’s main purpose will always be to enhance agent safety and minimize data manipulation which could lead to someone being hurt in an agent-on-agent interaction, including improved processes where only vetted agencies have access to LPR data.

While ARA plans to meet with DRN again in the near future to continue problem solving, DRN did state that they “will not support staging before day 10,” which is a benefit to the industry. 

ARA is committed to keeping its members and the recovery industry updated with its progress in this area.

“He’s shooting at me! He’s shooting at me!” – 911 Call

West Palm Beach, FL – October 31, 2024 – Sometimes bad things happen in nice places as we reported a couple of weeks ago with the story of a husband and wife who chased and allegedly opened fire on a repossessor as he was towing away their Maserati. As it turns out, the agent was wearing a body cam and we have part of the video.

Court records report that just after 1am on Wednesday the 30^th of October, a still unnamed repossession agent arrived at the quiet gated community home of Brian and Lori Martin of Wellington to recover a Maserati. Having successfully lifting it, the agent reported that the borrower, Brian Martin is reported to have rushed out of the home shirtless and with a black pistol in hand.

Wisely, the agent fled. But as he stopped at the community gates to secure the vehicle, Brian Martin came back and opened fire on the agent as his wife Lori was at the wheel of their Mercedes SUV.

The report states that the Martins proceeded to chase the Repossessor along Lake Worth Road, while Brian allegedly fired additional shots from the passenger seat as the agent called 911.

In the frantic body camera video, you can hear the repossessor on his call with 911 operators reporting the incident.

“He’s shooting at me,” the driver of the tow truck can be heard saying. “He’s shooting at me! He’s shooting at me!”

Responding police stopped the Mercedes and arrested both of the Martins. Inside the Mercedes, deputies found a semi-automatic handgun and a bullet. When interviewed, the couple were reported to have admitted their intention to reclaim the Maserati from the agent and Brian also admitted to having fired the weapon to intimidate the driver.

“I am shaken up, but I’m OK,” the repossessor later told deputies after they responded at the scene.

Brian Martin faces charges of attempted second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a weapon. Lori Martin also faces an attempted second-degree murder charge. Both are scheduled to appear in court again in December.

In a court filing this week, Brian Martin’s public defender asked for his bond to be reduced to $55,000.

“This is an isolated incident where Mr. Martin’s vehicle was being towed under unclear circumstances in the dead of night. He was awoken in the early morning hours to his car alarm going off. It was a chaotic situation, and unlikely to ever be replicated again,” the filing said.

As of Friday, Brian Martin was still in the Palm Beach County jail while his wife Lori was set to be released on house arrest under an unusual condition of her release being that she can have no contact with her husband.

The original incident occurred back on October 9^th at about 2:30pm, when 40-year-old Repossessor and father of two, Benjamin Bolton and a coworker spotted a white van assigned for repossession at the 900 block of Broadway in Houston. Already having one repossessed vehicle on the tow truck and having keys to the van, Benjamin hopped behind the wheel.

Having successfully cleared the area, all seemed safe until two miles later at the 7900 block of Harrisburn Blvd. It was there that reportedly two vehicles arrived. One blocked him off from the front and one pulled up alongside him.

It was then that allegedly three men opened fire on him firing a reported thirteen rounds into the van. Eight rounds struck Benjamin. Three struck him in the arm, three in the abdomen, one in the pelvic area, and one became lodged between his heart and his lung.

Bolton was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital where doctors began the first of what will be many surgeries.

According to his interviewed mother; “They had to actually leave his stomach open because they didn’t know what kind of damage, because there was so much blood and trauma. They didn’t want to close him up, and come back and open him up again to make sure they didn’t miss something,”

She added,” Tow truck drivers get a bad rep, but they just do their job. That’s a job to them, to pay the bills and feed their families and there is nothing in this world worth killing somebody over.”

After almost three weeks, on October 30^th, the Police have named and charged Brandon Munoz, 19, with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Brandon Alezander Munoz or in this case is urged to contact the HPD Eastside Patrol Division at 832-395-1580 or speak anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Earlier this month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shared a recall issued by Chrysler on more than 154,000 plugin and hybrid vehicles due to risk of fire while parked or driven. While this is the largest EV recall for this reason, the same risk exists on many other damaged batteries. Considering the volatility of these vehicles and how one fire could wipe out a repossession agency, is repossessing or storing them even worth it?

With the expansion of EV powered vehicles on the market, there comes a growing increase in the numbers of them being repossessed. And with these vehicles consuming more and more storage space in tow yards, there is increased risk of battery failures that can utterly destroy a business in minutes. With the recent recall of more than 154,000 EV Jeeps, we are only now just beginning to see how prevalent this risk is and why free storage is far from free.

As mentioned, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shared a recall issued by Chrysler that announced that more than 154,000 plugin and hybrid vehicles due to fire risk posed by problems with charging modules or the batteries themselves. They also mention allegations that at least two people have been injured.

As a cautionary measure, they are suggesting that owners should park their vehicles outside and away from structures and other vehicles until their vehicle has been remedied. In addition, owners should not charge unrepaired vehicles, because the risk of fire is higher in a charged battery and the risk of fire is reduced when the battery is depleted.

So, how much space around one of these vehicles must be maintained for any reasonable measure of safety? A lot more than most agencies have room for. Compounding this logistical waste of storage room is the issue of free vehicle storage fees by lenders/forwarders.

It’s like insult to injury for agency owners to be expected to not only receive no storage fees, but when a potential fire hazard is the vehicle, how is this even supposed to be considered financially feasible considering the risk?

Below is the NHTSA press release addressing the issue.

Consumer Alert: Important Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler PHEVs “Park Outside” Recall for Fire Risk

Owners should park their vehicles outside and not charge them until they are repaired

October 1, 2024 | Washington, DC

Chrysler has issued a new recall for more than 154,000 model year 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and model year 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicles due to a risk of fire while parked or driven.

Owners should park their vehicles outside and away from structures and other vehicles until their vehicle has been remedied. In addition, owners should not charge unrepaired vehicles, because the risk of fire is higher in a charged battery and the risk of fire is reduced when the battery is depleted.

The recall affects 118,230 Jeep Wrangler PHEVs and 35,802 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEVs. There have been two alleged injuries reported to date. The affected vehicles may have been built with a high voltage battery that may fail internally.

To fix the issue, Chrysler dealers will update the battery pack control module software. Dealers will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the high-voltage battery.

Owners can expect to be notified by mail starting Oct. 17 and can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. The NHTSA recall numbers are 24V-720 and 24E-080. 

Owners can also visit NHTSA.gov/recalls or call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 and enter their license plate number or 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their vehicle is under recall. NHTSA also encourages everyone to download its SaferCar app to stay informed on current recalls.

We’ve known about the risks of E-vehicle storage for years now and some agencies have already been storing them separate from the rest of their stored vehicles. Considering the additional safety measures required to maintain them safely, it seems only fair that the agencies would be paid additional fees, but I’m unaware of any uniform paid fees for such.

In the long run, every agency owner must make business decisions for themselves. For every reward, there is risk. But I at very least cannot understand why anyone would even accept one of the aforementioned vehicles for repossession. And while the Chrysler/Jeep products are the only ones reported, this is a risk that exists with all EV’s and it seem imprudent for agencies to not demand additional storage fees to accommodate this risk.

Isabella County, MI – October 23, 2024 – It was in broad daylight on a rural country road when the Repossessor showed up to repossess a vehicle. With no one emerging from the residence, he failed to notice the armed man on a tractor coming up on him.

According to the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office, an unnamed repo man in a tow truck went to a rural country residence on the 5000 block of South Lincoln Road in Union Township at around 11:30 am to repossess a vehicle.

That’s when police say a 29-year-old suspect pulled out a handgun and began firing shots at the Repossessor from a tractor he was operating on the roadway.

Fortunately, the agent was not hit and did not report any injuries.

As fate would have it, a detective and deputy were just across the road on an unrelated call and were quick to apprehend the suspect inside his home. They quickly located the firearm and several spent shell casings found at the scene.

While the agent emerged from the incident reportedly unscathed, Investigators took the suspect to an area hospital for treatment of a minor injury sustained when he allegedly pounded his head against a plastic divider inside a police patrol car.

The suspect was then transported to the Isabella County Jail where he awaits arraignment on charges of assault with intent to murder and assault with a dangerous weapon. The suspect’s name was not released Wednesday because he had not yet been arraigned.

Houston, TX – October 14, 2024 – They already had a car on the tow truck, so 40-year-old father of two Benjamin Bolton chose to drive the repossessed van away. He hadn’t gone two miles when a car blocked him off and another pulled up alongside him and opened fire. Benjamin was struck eight times and is currently fighting for his life in the ICU.

The mother of 40-year-old Repossessor, Benjamin Bolton, spoke to FOX26 Houston reporters and reported that on October 9^th at about 2:30pm, her son and a coworker had spotted a white van assigned for repossession at the 900 block of Broadway in Houston. Already having one repossessed vehicle on the tow truck and having keys to the van, Benjamin hopped behind the wheel.

Having successfully cleared the area, all seemed safe until two miles later at the 7900 block of Harrisburn Blvd. It was there that reportedly two vehicles arrived. One blocked him off from the front and one pulled up alongside him.

Three men opened fire on him firing a reported thirteen rounds into the van. Eight rounds struck Benjamin. Three struck him in the arm, three in the abdomen, one in the pelvic area, and one became lodged between his heart and his lung.

Bolton was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital where doctors began the first of what will be many surgeries.

According to his interviewed mother; “They had to actually leave his stomach open because they didn’t know what kind of damage, because there was so much blood and trauma. They didn’t want to close him up, and come back and open him up again to make sure they didn’t miss something,”

She added,” Tow truck drivers get a bad rep, but they just do their job. That’s a job to them, to pay the bills and feed their families and there is nothing in this world worth killing somebody over.”

The Houston Police Department told Fox 26 news that the investigation is ongoing, but three men were detained, and they are waiting on possible charges from the DA’s office.

According to reliable sources, an agent of a fulltime established repossession agency has spoken to the victim in the hospital. Benjamin was employed by a “Buy-Here-Pay-Here” lot and not an employee of a bona fide repossession company at the time of the shooting.

Benji will be undergoing a lot of surgeries in the next week and will be out of work for several months. His family and friends have been by his side since the moment the shots were fired. He is surrounded by people that love him. He is being cared for by amazing doctors at Ben Taub in Houston, Texas, reports his family on his GoFundMe page.

All proceeds will be going to helping Benji back on his feet after being released. ANYTHING HELPS!!

STAY BOLTON STRONG

Please Give Generously!
