The “Belltown Hellcat” Driver Faces $83,000 in Fines
A young man in Seattle, known for his loud Dodge Charger called the “Belltown Hellcat,” is in hot water with authorities. Despite a court order to cease driving the car and fix its exhaust, the driver, Miles Hudson, 20, has failed to comply. Now, his mother, who owns the vehicle, is also facing potential consequences.
Reckless Driving and Legal Troubles
Hudson’s online presence with his Charger has gained him a large following, but it has also led to legal issues. In April, he was charged with reckless driving and ordered to stop driving the car. Additionally, he was required to return the exhaust to meet noise regulations by April 15, which he has not done according to city officials.
Legal Ramifications
The city is seeking an $83,000 judgment against Hudson for non-compliance. Despite claims that he no longer drives the car, evidence suggests otherwise. His mother’s involvement in the situation may also lead to further legal scrutiny.
Upcoming Court Dates
Hudson will face a hearing on June 18 regarding the potential default judgment. Prior to that, on June 12, he will address his reckless driving charges in court. The situation serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of reckless behavior and social media exposure.
