Would you go to jail for a turbo kit?

Check out who made CBS News in South Florida this weekend! A 23-year old parking attendant / police officer in-training decided to steal some cash and a few credit cards during a DUI stop and order up some parts for his 2000 Mustang GT from AmericanMuscle.com!

Among the almost $10,000 worth of parts ordered was a Hellion Twin Turbo System, Bama Custom Tunes, 3.73 Gears and Underdrive Pulleys. Here’s a few clips from the video:



I guess Mary, our Operations Specialist, doubles as a detective! She intercepted the order and notified the credit card company and police right away. All joking aside, our staff works really hard to protect ourselves and our customers from fraudulent activity and we want to thank them. It’s good to have this guy off of the streets.

I mean, I know Bama tunes are HOT, but damn! How fast do you think his Stang would have gone?

Nice headline grab for the free publicity.

Sadly, I think alot of your potential customers which happen to be real police officers will be offended with the somewhat embellished title of "Cop Steals..." when it turns out to be some Parking Enforcement employee.

Absolutely, this asshat should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He brings enough bad press and embarassment to the organization who hired him and apparently did a poor background. But don't pour salt in the wounds for a quick headline.

You might be suprised at how many of your client base is paying for your goodies on a legitimate law enforcement salary.

I agree... Meter maids are not Cops. They used a bad choice of words that might cause their attempt for free publicity to backfire. Kudos to AM for helping nail this guy and for quickly jumping on the opportunity to get that free media coverage... smart move Just don't offend those that keep us safe!

They definitely need to remove the word "Cop" from the headline. Dude's a meter maid lol.
