St Louis Escorts: Panel proposes three-tier fee system
The proposed changes set these administrative fees: Level 1, $500; Level 2, $200; and Level 3, $100. The vehicle owner must pay the fees and meet other requirements before he or she can recover the car or truck.
Alton Police Department fees are separate from a private company’s tow and storage charges.
Level 1 fees are applied to vehicles that police seize in cases of drugs or drug paraphernalia offenses; weapons; driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicating compounds; soliciting a prostitute, prostitution or pandering; driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, unless it was a result of vehicle emission regulations; fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; leaving the scene of a personal injury or property damage accident; violation of an order of protection; and felonies.
