ATLANTA – Southeast Atlanta apartment residents are demanding action after accusing a private booting company of illegally disabling vehicles in their building's parking garage. Dozens of residents living at The Penman apartment building along the Atlanta Beltline in southeast Atlanta said Premier Parking Enforcement has victimized them for months. Resident Elijah Watkins recorded Thursday's booting incident on his phone after discovering a boot on his car for the third time this year.

Watkins stated he pays for parking through his lease at The Penman and presented valid payment receipts, but enforcement workers booted his vehicle anyway. The booting delayed medical care for Watkins' medically fragile son, who needed urgent hospital attention Thursday. Watkins and his wife had to transfer their son's car seat into her vehicle to make the appointment on time. Watkins added that the booting attendant cursed at his family and made his 9-year-old child cry. "I came downstairs and, low and behold, my car is booted now because this is the third time. I'm like, let me call the company surely this must be an error,"
