Deputies said Combs' arrest stems from numerous complaints against ASAP Towing for allegedly illegally towing vehicles from the Westwood Town Center June 5-9, which coincides with Gay Days. The celebration is hosted at the Doubletree Hilton across the street from the center at 10100 International Drive.

According to the report, patrons would emerge from the businesses at the center and find their vehicles towed. Deputies say Combs appeared to specifically target participants in the Gay Days celebration.
