KC business owner stops illegal tow linked to company facing $7.1 million judgement
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A new video obtained by FOX4 shows a quick-thinking Kansas City business owner stepping in to stop what he says was an illegal tow in progress. He potentially saved a customer from becoming the latest victim of predatory towing. Kansas City firefighter dies after serving more than 30 years FOX4 has spent months investigating this growing issue and has uncovered how questionable towing practices have cost metro drivers thousands of dollars. This latest incident involves a company FOX4 first reported on earlier this year: Haney's Trucking and Tow, the same company now facing a $7.1 million judgment tied to predatory towing. In the video recorded by the business owner and shared with FOX4, the tow truck driver can be heard acknowledging practices that appear to violate Missouri state law. 'To see people violating state law – the same law I was expected to follow,' the man who recorded the video said. Under Missouri law, a tow is illegal unless the property owner or a property manager—someone legally representing the property—is present on site. According to the video, the tow truck driver had no such representative with him. 'I know what they usually do is they already have signed forms,' the driver says in the video. The man who filmed the incident asked to remain anonymous, citing concerns about retaliation from the tow company. He told FOX4 he's long been aware of how predatory towing impacts the community, and says this video is 'Exhibit A.' He runs a business restoring and servicing classic cars. It was during a typical workday that Haney's Tow arrived and attempted to remove one of his customer's vehicles until he intervened. 'To see another company with such blatant disregard for the law was just disrespectful,' he added. Construction on Kansas City Buc-ee's delayed When asked on-site why the tow was being carried out without the legally required property representative present, the driver responded: 'I just follow what my bosses say.' FOX4 reached out to Haney's for comment on this incident, but has not received a response as of the time this article was published. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Exclusive: Outdoor Voices founder Ty Haney raises $11 million for her second startup
– Loyalty program. Outdoor Voices founder Ty Haney launched her second startup, Try Your Best (or TYB), more than three years ago. It was peak Web3, a space that Haney became highly interested in after she left the athletic apparel retailer that, in some ways, defined 2010s startups. Today, Haney is still building TYB, with 38 employees—and it's outlasted the rise and fall of blockchain/crypto/NFT-mania. The platform is intended to be a layer of loyalty infrastructure for consumer brands, what Haney calls 'community commerce.' Two hundred brands use the platform, as do 2 million users—mostly Gen Z women. Haney just raised an $11 million Series A for TYB, Fortune is the first to report. The round was co-led by Offline Ventures and Strobe Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Castle Island Ventures, and Unusual Ventures. This brings its total capital to $23.5 million. Talking to Haney about TYB, you can feel her excitement. Years after the drama that engulfed Outdoor Voices, which included board battles and Haney's exit and return, she's thrilled to be at step one again. 'I love this stage. I love building something from zero,' she says. The brands that use TYB include several of the buzziest brands from the beauty industry—like Glossier, Rare Beauty, and Saie. 'Beauty as a category has popped off significantly for us,' Haney says. '[Beauty] consumers are already creating so much content and participating in rituals around the brands.' There's also Poppi, Urban Outfitters, Set Active. Coming soon to the platform are Crocs and Away. Consumers on TYB participate in gamified challenges, earn collectibles, and have blockchain-enabled loyalty profiles that can potentially follow them from brand to brand. A TYB-using customer has 40% higher frequency of purchase and a 28% higher lifetime value, Haney says. Monthly engagement rates for brands crack 40%. Haney tells brands that TYB can drive 5% to 10% of revenue—'in a more profitable fashion than putting all your dollars against Instagram or Facebook.' TYB is developing 'affinity webs' that can map a user's loyalty to one brand and apply it to another. 'Within the Glossier community where I'm level three—can that mean something to Nike?' Haney explains. She's brought some lessons with her from Outdoor Voices and the tens of millions it raised. 'I've become a lot more sophisticated, or precise, in terms of who I who I raise money from, how much money I raise, and ultimately considerate of ownership and as little dilution as possible,' she says.

Adam Azim out to prove he is ready to fight American star Devin Haney after accepting bout on ONE WEEKS' notice
Brit star also aimed a dig at the American AZ TO HAPPEN Adam Azim out to prove he is ready to fight American star Devin Haney after accepting bout on ONE WEEKS' notice ADAM AZIM is ready to prove he is ready for the likes of Devin Haney - after accepting a super short-notice fight. Azim faces Mexico's Eliot Chavez this Saturday in Barnsley after having just a week to prepare for the bout. 3 Adam Azim is ready to prove he is ready for the likes of Devin Haney Credit: Richard Pelham / The Sun 3 Azim's next opponent Eliot Chavez Credit: Facebook But the ultra-fit and professional super-lightweight always stays ready for any challenge - even against boxing's best. Azim, 22, told Sky Sports: "I would fight Haney next week. I just feel he's more moving around and doesn't want to initiate attacks. "He is a top-level fighter but I don't think he's the same fighter that he was before. "If he's running on the backfoot, throwing one jab every two rounds, why not?" Haney, 26, was dropped three times by Ryan Garcia, also 26, in April 2026 in what looked to be his first defeat. But the result was overturned when Garcia returned a positive drug test for ostarine - known to boost muscle growth. Haney had his undefeated record restored and returned with a dull points win over Jose Ramirez, 32, in New York in May. Garcia - who accepted a one-year ban but blamed the positive test on a tainted supplement - also fought on the same night. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But he was stunned in defeat to Rolly Romero, 29, having been dropped before losing on points. Azim is targeting the top names at the 140lb division Haney used to rule as WBC champion - and slammed the American's safety-first style. Three-weight world champion Vasily Lomachenko retires after more than 400 FIGHTS in lengthy video He said: "For me I can fight front foot and back foot. "Haney, I think he's got enough power just to keep someone off, but I don't think he has that one-punch power. "But I think if I was going to fight him I think I'd beat him with speed."
