Towing Company Owner Comfirms There is a Gator Mafia and they Got the Fans to Threatened Him

Oh dear that shall be some blood shed over this. First the Gators have lost two in row, now the towing company owner Forron confirms that there is a Gator Mafia and they got the Gator “fans” to “remind” him of their existence. However, he is still to scared to press charges.

“The owner of the towing company involved in Florida safety Tony Joiner’s burglary case said Saturday he received more than 200 threatening phone calls.

More than a dozen of the calls were death threats and others were bomb threats, Stan Forron told Florida Today. Several callers even offered to pay the $76 towing bill if Forron would drop the charge.

“I’m just glad it wasn’t Tim Tebow, that’s all I can say,” Forron told the newspaper. “I think I would be covered in 10 feet of concrete right now if it had been Tebow.”

Joiner was arrested around 5 a.m. Tuesday for allegedly trying to take his girlfriend’s car out of the towing company’s impound lot.

The State Attorney’s Office dropped the charge Friday at Forron’s request.”

Classic mafia tactics. You finger someone and the threats come & then the bribes. After all everyone goes out at 5:00 AM to pick up a car from impound right? As I stated earlier the owner is probably in witness protection even though the charges were dropped. I can’t blame the State Attorney’s Office for dropping the charges they have their lives and families to think about.

“Although Forron, who acknowledged his allegiance to the Gators, said he wanted the charge dropped from the beginning, he never expected the reaction he got from Florida fans.

“I’ve been in the [towing business] since ’77 and I’ve never seen anything like it,” he told Florida Today. “The fans are very passionate. I think that’s a big part of it. … I’m disappointed that people could be like that. I realize how passionate people can be. But it’s disappointing that they would threaten lives and property over something like this.”

Notice how the writer used the word allegiance, that’s key. Forron you’re in the Gator Mafia you should have known you would be singled out.

“According to Gainesville Police, Joiner pushed open an electric gate, got into the car and started to drive off. When Joiner stopped to close the gate, he was confronted by a witness who called police.

Shortly after Joiner’s arrest, Forron said the player had arranged to pay the bill and pick up the car. But Forron said no one was around to take Joiner’s money, so he must have thought it was OK to take the car and settle up later.

“He was a perfect gentleman,” Forron said. “That had a big influence on why I wanted [the charge dropped]. If he had been yelling and screaming, they wouldn’t have been dropped.”

No one was there because you’re not open to the public that time of the day. According to the 911 calls made by your employees, there was a lot of screaming and yelling by Tony “Jailbird” Joiner. I better quit writing about this I might be the next person to become a victim of an “accident”.

On a serious note I’m not classifying all Gator fans, there are some that are respectful & are embarrassed over this so they are excluded from the following words.

Death threats on an old man? Come on! It’s fans like you that cause the rest of nation to hate the Gators, a lot you are rude & obnoxious. Meyer is winning at all costs & it will eventually catch up with the program. Meyer reminds me of Dennis Erickson when he was at Miami, and we all know what happened to him. He fled the program when the red flags went up!

I also find it funny that ESPN sat on this story until the LSU game was over with. Godfather Meyer clearly controlled that. The Gator fans claimed Ohio State fans had no class, death threats aren’t exactly a classy move.

So I profess on this day 10/07/07.
