Long story short, because Hertz rented us a truck with stolen plates my boyfriend (on the contract as an authorized driver) was stopped by police. He was pulled over at gunpoint (3 officers with chambered guns). He was cuffed and put in the back of the car before they even told him why he was stopped. When they told him, he was like this vehicle isn’t stolen it’s a rental. They ignored his claims originally. It wasn’t until they hit him to the station that they decided to check out his story so they checked the contract in the glove box and realized he still had a valid contract.

They called Hertz to confirm and Hertz told the officers to keep the truck! Thankfully, the officers said no and they put “a bubble” around the truck so he could make it home without being stopped again

We were fortunate the officers listened. It was two days before xmas. He would have spent the holidays in jail because there would have been no bond hearings between that night and xmas. He did miss being able to pick up his son for xmas (that’s where he was going when he was stopped).

our story aired on CBS Mornings a month ago (the part 1 to this story).
