On February 3, 2011, a Tampa Fire Department truck was on a call for service when it was parked on E. Kennedy Blvd. The flashers on the truck were activated and directional arrows were used to signal traffic around the vehicle. Two Tampa Fire Department employees while in the truck heard a loud crash and glass breaking. They looked up to see a truck with white lettering saying “Tire Buyers” driving by the parked emergency vehicle. The driver’s side mirror had been smashed by the passing vehicle. A Tampa Police officer tracked down the “Tire Buyers” vehicle and using the company’s GPS and driver logs identified the Defendant as the driver of the truck involved in the accident. The case was set for trial by the firm. Result: The State Dismissed the charge against the Defendant.
