CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA — A Charlotte towing company and its owner have been ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution after being accused of illegally booting semi-trucks, overcharging drivers, and engaging in racially targeted towing practices.

On February 17, 2026, North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson announced a judgment against David Jewel Satterfield and his companies, A1 Towing Solutions and Automobile Recovery and Parking Enforcement.

According to the Attorney General’s Office:

• The company illegally booted and towed semi-trucks delivering essential goods during the pandemic
• Drivers were charged up to $4,000 to release their vehicles
• Some drivers had valid parking permits or parked before towing signs were installed
• Records showed vehicles owned by African-Americans were towed at disproportionately high rates
• The company allegedly used racial slurs and assaulted drivers

Jackson stated the case sets a clear precedent against unlawful and discriminatory towing practices.

Under the court order, the company:

• Must pay $30,000 to affected victims
• Cannot boot commercial vehicles
• Cannot charge excessive towing fees
• Cannot tow without property owner permission
• Cannot hold commercial cargo after nonconsensual tows
• Cannot threaten drivers
• Must clearly mark private lots before towing

If the company violates the terms, it could face an additional $110,000 penalty.

This case follows the enactment of North Carolina’s Commercial Vehicle and Cargo Protection Act, which makes it a Class 2 misdemeanor to use a boot or immobilization device on a commercial vehicle.
