A disorder was reported at a residence on Oak Street. First Response Towing and Recovery was attempting to complete a repossession of two vehicles; however, the owner of the vehicle jumped on their trucks and refused to let them leave. Police spoke with an agent of First Response Towing, who showed police the orders they had to repossess the vehicles. Police identified them as a black GMC Sierra and black Cadillac Escalade. Police then spoke with the owner of the vehicles. The woman showed police payments she made on the vehicles that week via her bank account records. Police are uncertain whether these payments justified the vehicle being repossessed because she was not able to provide further paperwork. Also, these payments were made the same day First Response received an email regarding repossessing the vehicles. It is possible that the car lot did not cancel the repossessions after the payments were made. Police provided the woman with a complaint card and told her to call the car lot she bought the vehicles from as soon as possible.
