Marcia Tenenbaum’s 1990 Lincoln Town Car was returned to her before the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was ordered to seize it again.State safety officials have ordered the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office to seize a car Sheriff Jim Hammond had released improperly to its owner earlier this year.
The light blue 1990 Lincoln Town Car was sitting at the county narcotics impound lot near Silverdale Detention Center on Friday afternoon.
“The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office released the vehicle to the owner before any order was ever issued by the Department of Safety and Homeland Security,” said Dayla Qualls, public information officer. “The seizing agency was then informed to retrieve the vehicle back from the owner, which they did.”
On April 13, a sheriff’s deputy arrested the son of the car’s owner, Marcia Tenenbaum, after finding marijuana and cash in the car during a traffic stop.
In an Oct. 29 petition to the state, Tenenbaum explained how she got her car back so quickly.
