Feds Order Georgia sheriff To Return Hellcat muscle car

By Dave Ashton

If you have a work car and one you use especially like the Georgia sheriff for law enforcement, you would probably like it to be a cut above the rest. However, the Dodge Hellcat owned by Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office may now have to be returned no matter its capabilities.

The $69,258 which was spent from a federal program that distributes seized drug money to law enforcement agencies, may need to be returned as the DOJ said the vehicle differed from the use stated in the application for funding of the car as a “undercover/covert operations” vehicle. Basically, the Feds say the car was an extravagant purchase.

The Hellcat with its 707hp and top speed of 204mph from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8, is not produced as a Special Service model, but is still popular with law enforcement agencies for apparently the right application. The Hellcat is also being used by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office for their “Beat the Heat” community outreach program outlining the dangers of street racing and distracted driving.

Comment below and in hindsight should they have ordered a Dodge Demon?
