The owner of a Central Florida Tow Truck company has now been arrested for targeting the cars of “Gay Day” attendees last month. Jason Combs, the owner of ASAP Towing, did not even have the proper permits to tow at the parking lot he knew was filled with the cars of event participants. He now faces over 100 counts of Grand Theft Auto as well as some awkward conversations in lock-up.

The Sheriff’s Office said Combs illegally towed cars from a lot on International Drive across from the DoubleTree hotel. It was the site of the annual Gay Days celebration that took place between June 5 and June 9. “He had no authority to tow vehicles from that property during the time he took those people’s cars,” said Cpl. Rick Schmeltzer with the Sheriff’s Office. Investigators said ASAP Towing is a “predatory” tow company and Combs targeted dozens of people because of their sexual orientation.

    Gay Days is actually the highest revenue generating event at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom every year so I have a feeling this guy made a whole lot of enemies in the central Florida business community.

      This is Florida, my home state…
      He probably also made a few friends (Who, when asked publicly about this, would be shocked, SHOCKED, I SAY!)

      My guess is that he didn’t have a whole lot of friends to begin with.

    The stupidity in these haters seem to always exhibit itself in their actions; their bigoted impulses prevents them from just keeping it in their speech.
