South San Francisco, CA – July 2, 2012 – Kevin Gene McGinnis, 51 of South San Francisco has been charged with multiple felonies by prosecutors for allegedly pulling a gun on a Repo Man sent to repossess his Harley Davidson motorcycle earlier this year.
Prosecutors allege that McGinnis pointed a gun at the head of a Repo Man and threatened to kill him if he didn’t leave.
McGinnis’s trial date has been confirmed as July 23. He is currently free on $50,000 bail.
This happened to me 20 years ago and the DA settled the case as “felony-shooting at a moving vehicle.” Is one concern in trying the case was that the jury, in deliberatons, would ask themselves: “Why and the hell did he miss!” In other words, it is just a repo man so who cares. The man got 5 years probation, a $5000 fine that the county got, not me. I got $156 for the shot out front tire to my truck. This, from a debtor who was laying in the bushes in an ambush for me in the foothills 150 yards before I even got to his car. He emptied his shotgun (here he was legal because he only had the legally allowed three shells in his shotgun) and then hit me upside the head when his shotgun was empty and told me to leave before he reloaded.
Over a Harley……..
I wonder if the company did the job for a discounted rate??? Kenneth
