Damaged Car Lands Burress In Court Again
A civil trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday in Pennsylvania to determine how much Plaxico Burress will have to pay in damages over a car he leased that ended up being impounded by New York City police.
Court papers say a car dealer allowed Burress in 2006 to borrow a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche worth more than $36,000 in exchange for Burress agreeing to sign autographs at promotional events.
A month after Burress received the car, dealer Frederick Laurenzo said he received a call from police in New York, who told him they had impounded it in connection with a crime. He called Burress and told him to call police -- but the police never heard from Burress and Burress reportedly never returned another one of Laurenzo's calls.
