WEST CHESTERÂ â The Delaware County automobile dealership that had sought payment for an SUV used by the Chester County Sheriffâs Office K-9 unit it maintained had been improperly transferred to the department has lost its bid to recover the money it says it was owed.
Chester County Common Pleas Judge Edward Griffith has ruled against Videon Chrysler Dodge Jeep in the lawsuit it filed to recover the $30,000 price of the 2014 Dodge Durango and almost $23,000 on repairs and âupfitsâ to the vehicle, although he did so on narrow technical grounds and not specifically on the claims of the suit.
Videon, and owner Steve Videon, had simply failed to charge the correct entity when it filed the lawsuit seeking repayment in 2016. It named as the defendant the Sheriffâs Office, when as a matter of law it should have sued the county, Griffith ruled in dismissing the case.
