2026CT00####- Osceola County

Our Client stopped at a stop sign and then did a 10 second burnout.  Based on this, a Deputy arrested our Client for “stunt driving,” which is part of the racing statute; booked our Client in the county jail; and, impounded the Client’s vehicle for 30 days.  Four days after being arrested, we were retained.  The following day, on Sunday, we filed a motion for the immediate return of the vehicle without any costs assessed against our Client and a motion to declare the impoundment statute unconstitutional.  On Monday, both the Sheriff’s Office and State Attorney’s Office indicated their agreement with our motion.  On Tuesday, the State formally dropped the criminal charge against our Client.  By Friday, exactly one week after retaining us, our Client had the vehicle back and was not charged a single cent for the towing or impound.
