WEST TOLEDO - A West Toledo business owner filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the city and the acting commissioner of streets, bridges and harbor improperly towed various vehicles off his storage business late year.

The lawsuit was filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court on behalf of 60-year-old Christian Ewert of CMT Limited and State Line Group.

The suit claims Acting Commissioner Sue Frederick used a bolt cutter to enter the private storage facility on Alexis Road and towed several boats, trailers, mobile homes, and classic cars back on Sept. 12, 2008.

Fredrick, who has been in local and national news in June, claimed the vehicles were nuisance vehicles. She make national headlines after she ticketed several cars parked on homeowners property along Holland-Sylvania.
