The man who used his 'monster van' to crush a 16-year-old girl's car over the weekend made good on his mistake Tuesday.

Norman Nowling was arrested on a charge of felony criminal mischief after squashing the Toyota Corolla early Saturday morning at the Redneck Yacht Club in Charlotte County.

He met with the girl's stepfather Tuesday, and gave her a $6,500 check to cover the cost of getting her a new vehicle. She says she'll start shopping for a new car this afternoon.

"I need to go to sleep every night with a clear conscience," Nowling said.

Wait a minute. This article makes it sound like he did it on purpose. I thought the vehicle just got squirrely at the end of a run?
