Brian Miller, owner of the tow company implicated in the alleged King City Police Department car towing scheme, declared bankruptcy on Monday.
He and his wife, Tina, filed their Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition aiming to free themselves of debt to various credit card companies, Mee Memorial Hospital, and Jesus Garcia—the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against King City and Miller.
Garcia sued in March, alleging police officers violated civil rights in deliberately preying upon poor, marginalized Latinos.
The bankruptcy filing effectively stalls the lawsuit against Miller, but it can proceed against the other defendants, including former chief Bruce Miller, officers Mario Mottu, Sr., Bobby Carrillo, Jaime Andrade and retired chief Nick Baldiviez, as well as the city of King City.
The Millers' assets are worth somewhere between $100,000 and $500,000, according to their bankruptcy filings, and total debts worth somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million.
