Georgia Seizes Three Gas Stations for Alleged Cheating
WTLV reports that Georgia state inspectors discovered that all three gas stations at the Camden County Cisco Travel Plazas (off of I-95) have been shortchanging their customers for the last eight years. A superior court judge ordered an attorney (yes, a lawyer) to take over the stations’ management and seize any profits. District Attorney Stephen Kelley says the dramatic steps were taken “without warning- so no one could spend it away or hide it.” While Kelley admits that “juries might have to decide who’s innocent and who’s not,” he points out that one of the former station owners has a history of rolling back odometers. Another former owner, yet to be located, “missed a court appearance in Missouri this week.” If the state finds that the stations cheated customers, Kelley hopes the seized assets can be converted into “massive” refunds. And if not?
