Towing firms sue Marion over biased call rotations
A federal suit will be filed in Benton alleging Marion discriminates against four business owners by unequal towing calls. Law firm attorney Courtney Cox represents Baker Auto and Truck, Vernell's Interstate Service, Bennett's Service Center, and Blades' Body Shop against the city and police officials. The complaint cites an ordinance requiring equal annual calls among five tow firms but claims Tondini's Wrecker Service received about half the calls while the others shared the rest. It also notes Dawn Tondini is a Marion Police sergeant and seeks a remedy to ensure fair rotation going forward.
