New Jersey Towing Company Loses Town and State Police Clients After Video Of Racist Rant Against Customer
An New Jersey towing company has recently lost two contracts after video surfaced showing a company representative using the N-word during a encounter with a customer.
Ajaco Towing was dropped by the New Jersey State Police and the town of Parsippany after video of the incident was being shared online. The video shows a white man yelling at a Black man recording the video after a disagreement about a towing bill.
“Earlier this morning the township was made aware of an incident occurring at Ajaco Towing Recovery, a business contracted with the Parsippany Police Department,” the town administration and police stated in a joint statement on Aug. 18. “After reviewing the video, [we have] decided to no longer use Ajaco Towing, effective immediately.”
The towing company is no longer apart of the city’s roster of contracted businesses and has been removed from a list referenced to when carrying out municipal operations.
“Go inside, go inside!” an officer yelled at the man.
“Get him out of here now!” the white man repeated, before accusing the man of alleging “pulling the racial card.”
“You threatened me right in front of the police!” the man recording responded.
“You know why? Because I can. Freedom of speech,” the white man said. Before entering the building, the white man called the customer a “f—ing n—er.”
An invoice shared by the man shows he visited the towing company on Aug. 16 after his vehicle was towed the day before. He showed up to get his car back.
Jason Cleffi, reported by NBC New York as the owner of Ajaco, told the news station the man who recorded the incident had argued with employees for an hour over a towing bill before the video began. Cleffi claims the man initially left then returned with police. According to Cleffi, the man threatened the Ajaco rep.
“Two men got into a heated argument that never should’ve happened,” he said. “I take it very serious. I have to apologize for my employee’s action, I have to apologize to anyone who had to be subjected to that. I do not tolerate that.”
