Man Faces Prison Time for Attempted Car Repossession
A man is facing more than 12 years in prison after attempting to repossess an unpaid car in a Miami Tri-rail station parking lot last year. The incident took place when Erik Hadad, 58, followed Schneider Jean Louis from Miami Shores to a parking lot in Miami with a pistol in his possession.
Background of the Incident
According to court records, Jean Louis had made two bounced payments on his silver 2020 Honda Accord, leading the lender to authorize the car dealer Guru Auto Sales, owned by Hadad’s son, to repossess the vehicle. On the day of the incident, Hadad confronted Jean Louis in the parking lot and attempted to take back the car.
Legal Controversy
There is a legal dispute surrounding the incident, with conflicting accounts from both parties. Jean Louis claims he was unaware of the repossession while Hadad’s defense attorney argues that there was no criminal intent behind the actions. The case has led to federal carjacking and gun possession charges against Hadad, with the trial scheduled to begin in October.
Overall, the situation is complex, with both parties providing different perspectives on what transpired. The legal proceedings will likely shed more light on the matter and determine the outcome for the individuals involved.
