For purposes of this Section, the last owner of record of a vehicle,
vessel or trailer found abandoned and not shown to be transferred
pursuant to Sections 301.196 and 301.197, RSMo., shall be deemed prima
facie evidence of ownership of such vehicle, vessel or trailer at
the time it was abandoned and the person who abandoned the vehicle,
vessel or trailer or caused or procured its abandonment. The registered
owner of the abandoned vehicle, vessel or trailer shall not be subject
to the penalties provided by this Section if the vehicle, vessel or
trailer was in the care, custody or control of another person at the
time of the violation. In such instance, the owner shall submit such
evidence in an affidavit permitted by the court setting forth the
name, address, and other pertinent information of the person who leased,
rented, or otherwise had care, custody or control of the vehicle,
vessel or trailer at the time of the alleged violation. The affidavit
submitted pursuant to this Subsection shall be admissible in a court
proceeding adjudicating the alleged violation and shall raise a rebuttable
presumption that the person identified in the affidavit was in actual
control of the vehicle, vessel or trailer. In such case, the court
has the authority to terminate the prosecution of the summons issued
to the owner and issue a summons to the person identified in the affidavit
as the operator. If the vehicle, vessel or trailer is alleged to have
been stolen, the owner of the vehicle, vessel or trailer shall submit
proof that a Police report was filed in a timely manner indicating
that the vehicle was stolen at the time of the alleged violation.

property is transferred pursuant to Section 304.156, RSMo., shall
remain the liability of the person convicted pursuant to this Section
so long as the towing company, as defined in Chapter 304, RSMo., provided
the title owner and lienholders, as ascertained by the Department
of Revenue records, a notice within the time frame and in the form
as described in Subsection (1) of Section 304.156, RSMo.
