I provided Krupinski with copies of the written warnings and the original citation. I advised Krupinski that his vehicle would be impounded. Krupinski removed several of his belongings and called his daughter for a ride.

I took several photos of the vehicle before I advised dispatch to contact the next wrecker in rotation. The photos were entered into the electronic evidence box.

Shortly after, Wards Towing arrived on scene and later towed the vehicle to the Port Richey Police impound lot. Krupinski was provided with and signed the impound paperwork with instructions on how to retrieve his vehicle
