Anchorage man who hunts stolen vehicles agrees to plea deal barring him from chasing suspects
Author: Madeline McGee | Updated: 5 hours ago | Published 1 day ago
An Anchorage man facing a criminal charge over his hobby of finding and recovering stolen vehicles has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Although the deal, reached last week, brings his 19-month court battle to an end, he says it also takes aim at his crime fighting.
Floyd Hall, 54, spends much of his free time searching for stolen vehicles as part of a loosely defined group of vehicle recoverers who call themselves the “A Team." They rely on public tips gathered from a network of social media groups.
In August 2017, Hall’s activities put him on the wrong side of the law when an alleged high-speed chase involving a stolen truck he was pursuing brought him one count of reckless driving.
