A single clerical slip at a dealership spiraled into a nightmare for a United States Coast Guard officer, who was pulled over and arrested because of the error. He has since filed a lawsuit against the dealer, which is reportedly seeking to settle the matter quietly.
The case highlights how a small administrative mistake can carry serious real-world consequences for an innocent customer. For the officer, clearing his name became a legal battle, and the dealership now faces the fallout of its own oversight.
