that was not operable, and he also spoke with Code Enforcement Officer Virgil

about removing his vehicles. A tow trucking business was called, and the
driver said he was to tow the Camaro and Firebird downtown and take the rest
with him. Mr. Robison sated that all the vehicles were licensed, but he forgot
to put the licenses on the vehicles. Mr. Robison stated he volunteered to get
his tags, but they said they did not have time, and then they said the licenses

a tow truck himself, but Officer Wheaton informed him he could not do that.
Mr. Robison stated that the ordinance does not say anything about that. Mr.
Robison stated he feels Mr. Hansen and Officer Wheaton should have had a
warrant in order to gain access to his property. Mr. Robison stated he wanted
something done as he had to give away his vehicles.
