They said he claimed to have fallen behind on his vehicle payments because he was in the hospital, but the hospital had no record of Kohler being there. They also said Kohler was three months behind on his vehicle payments, and was told by the car dealership that if he didn’t pay by June, the car would be repossessed. Prosecutors said Kohler had five prior vehicle repossessions, and should not have been surprised when Lowe arrived to take the truck.
