You're welcome, ****! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Always glad to help!
I was arrested but my husband was with me. The prosecutor dropped charges, said she couldn't prosecute me and I was released. My husband wasn't asked if someone could come get the vehicle and we were at a gas station at time of incident. My husband recently suffered a head injury as well and we don't have a place of our own.
It sounds like a complex situation. For clarity, are you seeking assistance regarding the vehicle, your husband's head injury, or another legal matter? Let me know so I can provide more specific information or guidance.
Vehicle
Thanks for providing the details. Since the charges were dropped, it might still be a good idea to check if there are any pending issues regarding the vehicle's custody or any fees related to towing or storage. You can inquire about the vehicle with the local authorities or the gas station where the incident occurred.
Is there anything specific you want to know about the vehicle?
It was impounded without reason
It sounds frustrating to have your vehicle impounded without clear reasoning. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Contact the police department to inquire why the vehicle was impounded.
- Ask for a written statement or report regarding the impoundment.
- Check for any fees related to towing or storage.
- Consider consulting with a local attorney to understand your rights and options.
