US man sues dealer after his plumbing truck is seen being used by jihadists to fight in Syria
Mark Oberholtzer, owner of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City,
left the 'Mark-1 plumbing' stickers on the truck when he traded it in
for a newer Ford pickup at AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway in October 2013.
A year later, a photo posted on Twitter by the extremist Ansar al-Deen
Front from the front lines of the war in Syria showed his truck -
stickers and all - being used by jihadis. Oberholtzer, who says he has
received death threats, is now seeking more than $1million in punitive
damages from AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway for fraud, gross negligence,
negligent misrepresentation, defamation, invasion of privacy and
deceptive trade, according to Courthouse News.
