  1. Mad resident of centralia says:

    He wasn’t white that’s what’s behind that

  2. George says:

    If you purchase a car or any other licensed thing from a private party, you have 45 days to transfer the title. That is state law. But at the same time, transferring the title does NOT transfer ownership, and you have to do MORE paperwork to do that. Yes, I know, it doesn’t make sense, but that is the Washington State Government for you…..

    “MAN TAKEN TO JAIL FOR TARDY TITLE TRANSFER – “arrested and jailed…for failing to transfer the title of his car within 45 days.” WHY???????? I’m sure that the money that it cost the tax payers to book & hold him was much more than the money received from a ticket and fine. Redonkulous!!!! 🙁
