LAWSUITS."

ACCUSED OF TAKING
CUSTOMERS' MONEY, AND NOT

EVEN AFTER AN ORDER FROM
A JUDGE.
IN SOME CASES, WE'RE

DOLLARS.

(ANDY)
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR
US TO GET EVEN MORE CALLS

A VIEWER SAW A PROMOTION
FOR THE STORY, AND CALLED

(ANDY FOX REPORTING)
WE BEGAN OUR SEARCH FOR
CARL GRAY OPERATOR OF
KING CARL'S AUTO REPAIR

CARS ARE TO BE TOWED AWAY
BY ORDER OF CHESAPEAKE
POLICE.

HUNDRED DOLLARS AND TOLD

ME IN A WEEK MONTHS CAME
ANOTHER THING. ))
KING CARL'S OTHER FAMILY
FRIEND BRENDA BETTS TOOK
HIM
A 1978 ANTIQUE MERCEDES
BENZ CONVERTIBLE THAT
LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE.
SHE WENT TO KING CARL
LIKE HER HUSBAND DID
BEFORE HE DIED.
BRENDA WENT TO COURT WITH
PROOF OF WHAT SHE PAID,
THE CHECKS, 26 HUNDREDS
((HE TALKED TO THE JUDGE
AND HE COULD SEE RIGHT
THROUGH HIM AND GAVE ME
AD
JUDGMENT."))
$34 HUNDRED DOLLARS PLUS
INTEREST AND BETTS
REMEMBERS EXACTLY WHAT
THE JUDGE TOLD KING CARL
((YOU OWE HER THIS MONEY
AND HER CAR WHAT DID HE
SAY HE DIDN'T SAY A
THING))
RUNS:06
BETTS GOT NOTHING BUT 250
DOLLARS FROM A JUNK
DEALER FOR PARTS.
AND RIGGINS AND BETTS ARE
NOT ALONE
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF
THE KING CARL CUSTOMERS
AND OVER $100,000 OF
JUDGMENTS
AGAINST HIM.
((HE MOVED AND I COULDN'T
FIND HIM AND I JUST GAVE
UP))
THEY GIVE UP BUT 10 ON
YOUR SIDE WON'T
WE WENT LOOKING FOR CARL

CARS AT BARRY PRYOR'S
PLACE

WE FOUND FRED (KER-NEY)
KEARNEY WHO IS STORING
THESE 11 CARS FOR KING

SAYS HE IS OWED $220
DOLLARS FOR THAT
((ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS
SINCE I SAW CARL))
WE SEARCHED AND THEN WE
FOUND KING CARL AT HIS
NEW STORE FRONT ON
SOUTH MILITARY HIGHWAY
( ANDY VIDEO CLIP 1
"CARL. YES SIR ANDY FOX C
(NAT SD: CARL I'M ANDY
FOX. COME ON IN CAN I
TALK TO YOU COME ON IN))
WE ASKED ABOUT ALL THE
TIMES HE'S BEEN IN COURT
((I DID WHAT I WAS
SUPPOSE TO DO CONSIDERING
THE REPAIRS TO THE
WILL PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
ABSOLUTELY SATISFIED
BUT WE ASKED HIM ABOUT
THE LONG LIST OF
JUDGMENTS AGAINST HIM
((I ALWAYS SHOW UP IN
COURT I NEVER MISS A
COURT DATE))
THAT'S THE POINT CARL
SHOWED UP FACED THE
VICTIMS AND THE JUDGE
RULED AGAINST HIM.
BUT THE JUDGE RULED
AGAINST KING CARL.
((THE TRUTH IS IN THE
COURT DOCUMENTS THE
JUDGMENT WAS AGAINST YOU
AND YOU HAVE NOT PAID
WELL THERE JUDGMENTS
AGAINST THE WHOLE COUNTRY
THE COUNTRY IS IN
DEBT."))
RUNS:06
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU
HAVEN'T DONE WHAT THE
COURT HAS TOLD YOU TO DO
THIS IS A JUDICIAL MATTER
I DECLINE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS
CONCERNING THAT
((THEY INITIATED THIS
ACTION. THEY CAN INITIATE
IT AGAIN IF THEY FEEL
THEY ARE NOT
BEING TREATED RIGHT
THAT IS WHAT THE JUDICIAL
PROCESS IS FOR
(ANDY)
WE CALLED THE CITY OF
CHESAPEAKE AND THEY
SHARED HOW TOUGH IT IS TO
DEAL WITH
BUSINESSES LIKE THIS ONE.
THEY UNDERSTAND THE
CONCERNS BY VICTIMS, BUT
SAY IT IS ULTIMATELY A
MATTER FOR THE
COURTS.
THE CITY SAYS IT IS NOT
IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE
ASSISTANCE TO THE PARTIES
IN A CASE
OF THIS TYPE.
