To some folks, Donny Burgess is a hero as he comes to the rescue of stranded drivers, but he never thought he would be his own hero.

“A lot of stealing been going on around here,” said Burgess.
His towing company, Donny’s Towing, has been burglarized three times this year, so he decided to start stopping by to keep an eye on things and one day, he found the crooks in action.
“When I pulled up I (saw) a truck sitting right by the fence,” Burgess said.
Burgess says he saw 27- year-old Ryan Flatt climbing the barbed wire fence and that’s when he called 911.
“I went up here and looked in the back of his truck and I found some of my stuff and I (knew) something was going on then,” said Burgess.
Moments later Burgess said Flatt peeped around the opposite side of the building saying he “ran out of gas.”
“I told him to stay right here until I checked this out a bit further. There is something going on here and I don’t’ like it,” Burgess shared.
When he did that, Flatt made a run for the allegedly “out of gas” truck and tried to pull off.
Burgess said he ran after Flatt and the man reached in the moving truck.
“I just shoved it right up in park and jerked his keys out the truck and I pulled him out the truck,” Burgess said.”held him (Flatt) by his shirt collier up against the truck until the police officer got here.”
Two others, brothers Daniel and Shone Frazier, were also arrested in connection with the burglary. They may have gotten away from Donny, but not the law.
“If they decided not to run and fight, I would have had to take on three of them. I never thought about that. I was a little nervous, but this is mine. It ain’t much, but it’s mine,” Burgess added.
Donny said he has no regrets and if he had to do it again he would do the same thing.
Donny’s Towing was not the only place the three men stole from that night.
According to police reports, they stole parts from another company worth and estimated $10,000.
Donny sids what the hardest part of this is that the young man he caught is his friend’s son.
All three men are facing criminal theft charges and will appear in court before the end of the year.

Here’s the story from AnnArbor.com:

A tow truck driver was shot in the foot early Tuesday by a man who was upset that his vehicle had been towed from an apartment complex because he didn’t have a parking permit, police said.
Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Derrick Jackson said deputies responded to a call of shots fired at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 9000 block of MacArthur Boulevard.
Police found that a 31-year-old Ypsilanti Township resident and employee of Discount Towing had been struck once in the foot and the suspect had fled, Jackson said.
Deputies had responded to the area earlier in the night while the employees were towing the suspect’s car, Jackson said. The suspect did not have a parking pass for the complex and was upset that his car was being towed, Jackson said.
“Tow truck drivers get this all the time,” Jackson said. “It’s common practice for them to quickly call us before things escalate.”
It wasn’t until the employees came back to the complex to check if there were any other cars that needed to be taken from the area that trouble started, Jackson said.
According to Jackson, when police went to the scene earlier, the situation had calmed down and the suspect went back inside while the drivers towed his car and deputies left the area. The employees returned, and while they were leaving, three shots were fired at the vehicle, Jackson said.
The suspect was arrested hours later, Jackson said. The 25-year-old Superior Township man was lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail, where he is waiting to be arraigned on charges, Jackson said.
There was no one immediately available at Discount Towing on Tuesday evening to comment on the shooting.
A Nixle alert to the community regarding the shooting was issued by the sheriff’s office Tuesday evening.
