Caught on Camera: Deputy Screams at Tow Truck Driver

An off-duty Florida sheriff’s deputy was caught on cellphone video last week yelling at a tow truck driver and flashing her badge as he was trying to tow away her pickup, which had been blocking a sidewalk. In the video, Deputy Tracy Weiss, who was in plain clothes, is heard screaming at the tow truck driver, “You’re illegally stealing my truck! I am a cop! You’re going to (expletive) jail for stealing my car!” The tow truck driver claims the manager of the homeowner association had asked him to tow Weiss’ truck because it was parked in a driveway but illegally blocking a sidewalk often used by people in wheelchairs.
