A Davidson County court will hear the Tennessee Attorney General's motion to sanction Priority Wrecker Service on Thursday, April 10, after the company and its owner, Johnny Maye, failed to respond to the AG's consumer protection lawsuit filed in December, according to WKRN Nashville. The AG is seeking a $1,000-per-violation fine, customer restitution, and a five-year industry ban for Maye, with 22 additional consumer complaints received since the original suit was filed.
Operator takeaway
A five-year industry ban and default judgment are both in play at Thursday's hearing. If the court advances sanctions, it will mark one of the fastest-moving state AG enforcement resolutions against a towing company currently in the courts.
