Summary
If your employer reported equipment as stolen despite a contract stating otherwise, you may have a case for breach of contract and false accusation. Malicious prosecution claims against the prosecutor are challenging and require proof of intent. You can pursue legal action without waiting for booking. In Ohio, consider contacting an attorney who may work on a contingency fee basis. Gather all relevant documents and seek legal aid services if needed. Resources like the Ohio State Bar Association and Legal Aid Society of Cleveland can assist in finding the right legal support.Full Conversation
Why would they insist on me turning myself in if it could result in a lawsuit? Doesn't make sense and the courts are not that stupid.
It seems like the company is trying to follow through with their report to the authorities, which might be their standard procedure. Turning yourself in could be part of the legal process. However, if the contract terms were not followed, it strengthens your case for a lawsuit. What state are you located in? This could help in providing specific legal advice for your situation.
I'm being arrested and booked for a civil matter, That's Extremely illegal.
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you have a strong case for breach of contract and potentially malicious prosecution. Here are some key points:
- Breach of Contract: The company did not follow the policy you signed.
- False Accusation: Reporting the equipment as stolen when it was not.
- Malicious Prosecution: Suing the prosecutor for wrongful pursuit of charges (difficult but possible).
Turning yourself in might be part of the legal process but doesn't negate your claims. What state are you located in? This can help provide more specific information.
