Dad sues over car damaged in chase

[Foxy Brown]

When Cobb County police finally stopped an out-of-control driver after a high-speed chase through red lights and major intersections, they spotted a gun and feared the worst.

Sirens screamed as backup patrol cars rushed in, bumping the Lexus SUV to stop it on the I-75 south off-ramp to South Marietta Parkway. When the driver locked the car doors, police smashed the windows to get in.

The menacing motorist turned out to be 19-year-old private school graduate Jennifer Natbony, who was on drugs and hunkered down inside her mom's luxury car. The teen, lying near what was a pellet gun or air rifle, was arrested on 16 charges on Dec. 1, 2003. After pleading guilty to DUI and evading police, she received probation and community service.

Now her father, Michael Natbony of Marietta, wants his insurance company to foot the bill for the $12,612 in damage to the Lexus, according to a lawsuit filed by his attorney Robert S. Windholz. Trial in Fulton County State Court is tentatively scheduled for next week.

Personally I think thats one of the worst lawsuits I heard in th a while. First off the girl was on drugs and would not stop for police. Then she had a "weapon" next to her which indicates she would've done anything so the police did have reasonable doubt to damage the car.

Her sentenced was not that bad at all, for a 19 year old with all those felonies <_<

The insurance company shouldn't even give one dime to fix the lexus. Last time I looked at my policy I didn't see coverage on evading police, intoxicated and on drugs while driving.

And $12,612 for damages? I think they could afford that if they have a Lexus >_>
