HAMILTON COUNTY — An attorney representing the family of a deceased Hamilton Southeastern grad is facing criminal charges related to his handling of evidence from the crash that killed Mason Alexander in March 2025.
Attorney James David Masur II, 66, was charged on June 13, 2025, with Theft (Level 6 Felony), Criminal Mischief (Class B Misdemeanor), and Aiding, Inducing, or Causing Unauthorized Entry of a Motor Vehicle (Class B Misdemeanor).
According to court documents, Masur was retained by Alexander's mother, Kelly Harris. On March 8, 2025, he attempted to access the vehicle involved in the crash at Miller's Towing but was unable to enter because the business was closed.
Two days later, Masur contacted Rahvy Murray, Alexander's uncle, to accompany him to the tow yard to retrieve what he believed was the vehicle's black box. Murray raised concerns about the legality, but Masur assured him it was permissible, prompting Murray to alert authorities.
At the tow yard, Masur allegedly directed an employee to remove a roof-mounted antenna and related devices. Investigators found Masur also left with the vehicle's owner's manual, a TCB2 device, a battery, and a bag mask valve.
The vehicle, owned by Jeffery Williams, the father of driver Trey Williams, was not authorized for access or removal by either Williams or his attorney, Jim Voyles. Liberty Mutual/Safeco confirmed the removal was unauthorized, and BMW estimated the parts' value at $1,753.24.
Masur retained the items at his law office for over two months before returning them to Harris on May 20, 2025. When questioned about his actions, Masur claimed, “I thought it would be a good idea to preserve it.”
A jury trial is set to begin July 15. Meanwhile, the criminal case against Trey Williams, 18, continues as he has reached a plea agreement on a reckless homicide charge in connection with the incident. Authorities have been asked for further comment.
