STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Three months after a tow truck driver was arrested outside the 120th Precinct stationhouse while attempting to repossess a police officer’s personal vehicle, all but one of the criminal charges have been dismissed.

What started as a felony charge of possessing stolen property and a misdemeanor for falsifying business records has since been reduced to a minor charge for having a police scanner inside the truck.

Jose Rodriguez is due back in Richmond County Criminal Court on Tuesday.

The NYPD, meanwhile, has conducted an “internal review” of the incident; the outcome is not yet known.

The district attorney’s office did not respond this week to a request for comment.

THE INCIDENT

Rodriguez told the Advance he was driving past the stationhouse in St. George on May 30 when his license plate reader signaled a car marked by the bank for missed payments.

He said the police officer’s co-worker blocked the tow truck, then flagged other officers to help place him under arrest. Rodriguez spent 20 hours in jail for a felony charge of possessing stolen property and a misdemeanor of falsifying business records.

The charges suggested the truck’s New Jersey towing license wasn’t valid in New York City.

The owner of Finest Towing and Auto Body, which sub contracts work to Rodriguez’ JRod Towing and Recovery, said at the time drivers had towed thousands of vehicles from New York City back across the border with the New Jersey towing license.

“They’re telling me we can’t do repossessions with a New Jersey truck in New York ... they’re totally wrong,” Finest Towing owner Anthony Destefano said days after the arrest. Finest has two locations, one on Staten Island and one in New Jersey.

A criminal court judge apparently agreed with him.

ALLEGED SECOND ENCOUNTER

Rodriguez claims that weeks after he was arrested, the same officer who blocked him from the repossession in May approached him again outside the stationhouse. Rodriguez was on the job, behind the wheel of the same truck that police returned to him.

“He told me why do I keep coming here to repossess police officers’ cars,” said Rodriguez. “We were arguing for 20 minutes.”

Police did not respond this week to a request for comment on the alleged encounter.

Ironically, the tow truck company donates to the Blue Lives Matter movement.

UPCOMING COURT DATE

Rodriguez said he anticipates to learn at the court appearance Tuesday whether the misdemeanor charge for a police scanner will be dropped. Both he and Destefano argue that while a truck licensed in New York City is not permitted to have one, a New Jersey truck is legally allowed to cross the border with one.

There also are moving violations for tinted windows and a missing front plate that remain on the docket, which Rodriguez said he’s agreed to rectify.

“I should have never been arrested,” Rodriguez said earlier this week. “It was just moving violations.”
