At least one sheriff in California does not plan on returning almost 90 vehicles seized after a massive sideshow bust over the weekend.
"I wouldn't waste your time coming out here or calling about your car because it's going to sit until a judge or DA tells us to let it go," San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office Sheriff Patrick Withrow told KCRA 3 in Sacramento. Withrow was talking about the 88 vehicles his deputies from a special sideshow task force seized Feb. 3 in Stockton. Deputies also detained 150 people and arrested others, booking them in jail.
As part of the sheriff's zero-tolerance stance on sideshows, deputies are confiscating cars whose drivers do donuts and drive recklessly as evidence and then impounding them. Deputies will also seek court orders to destroy vehicles they deem dangerous.Guns and illegal drugs were found inside some of the vehicles seized at the event."We have search warrants for each one of these vehicles and we will search it, document it.
