A Fresno mom says her car was towed away with her 5-year-old daughter asleep inside! Latonya Sweet said she was pulling into her complex around 8:30 a.m. Thursday when she noticed a truck from West Coast Towing trailing behind. She followed her normal routine and pulled under a tree, so she could lift open her garage.
"During that time, the brief moment there, the tow truck pulled up on the side of me and said, 'That's illegal parking." I'm not sure the reasoning for his aggression or his approach but my reasoning was not suffice enough for him"
Sweet says she opened her garage and the driver quickly hooked up her car with the child in the backseat & she told him her daughter was still inside.
She flagged down nearby police officers, and they located the tow truck driver near her home.
She eventually got her vehicle back and most importantly her daughter and the driver could face a child endangerment charge.
