can a tow truck company refuse credit cards for payment?

I was at a mechanics business and was waiting for another vehicle to pull out so I could pull in to the shop and once he pulled out I got out the car and was asking if it was ok to pull in and I was right by the car and not parked and as I was asking the tow truck driver rushed and pulled infront of my car and when I told him I was about to pull into the business and not parked he did not care and the owner of the shop has video footage of the incident so we called the police and the tow truck driver said that since we called the police he was only going to charge $60 but now he would charge double. We had to pay in cash so he would not take the car and would not wait for the police. When the police arrived and saw the footage they went to the tow truck business and they told the officer they would come return the money but they havent and when you call their number they dont pick up and their voicemail is full.
