Why was Dave from Storage Wars appointed for 30 days of community service?

Storage Wars BillboardDave Hester had to serve community service after being convicted of a DUI in 2005.

He worked at a local Goodwill Store to cover his community service, which helped spark the idea for his thrift store.

If you are ever in Orange County, you can visit his Rags to Riches store at:

  • 162 East Orange Grove Avenue Burbank, California Phone: (818) 468-3156

The store was originally located at:

  • 1941 Newport Blvd. Costa Mesa, California

In late October of 2011 the Costa Mesa store's signs were vandalized. The store's red and white sign had "davehesterfraud.com" written across it in black letters, and the sign announcing the move to Orange was covered up with a sign urging people not to patronize the store.
