Falsely Accused of Keying My Ex's Truck
My question involving criminal law for the state of: North Carolina
Okay so my ex and I broke up. He was physically abusive towards me. He hit me multiple times when we were together. When we broke up last time he gave me a black eye, I texted my therapist immediately after it happened and went to my neighbors and told them what happened. I never went to the police about it. He then texted me a week later asking how I got a black eye which was odd (though he had been drinking when he punched me) I just said why do you care and then he continued insulting me via messages. He apologized We got back together shortly after. We just broke up again he slapped me across the face and I hadn’t spoken to him since until today . I went to pick up my things from him he was at work told me to go alone to his unlocked truck and get my stuff so I did. A hour later he calls me& accuses me of keying his truck. I drive back out to where he works &he showed me a 3 inch scratch I told him I didn’t do it. He continued yelling at me saying I was going to pay,he’s really angry. I left then he called the cops they haven’t contacted me. There is no proof other than him saying I did it. What do I do??? I didn’t do it but he is accusing me doing it???
Re: Ex is Accusing Me of Keying His Truck What Do I Do
You do nothing. He is free to state his opinion until the cows come home. But if the cops haven't contacted you, what makes you think they believe him? Or that they're going to take any action without evidence? The likelihood is that if he called the cops and said you keyed his truck, they told him that there's no evidence who did it and nothing they're going to do.
If I'm wrong and the cops show up at your door, call a lawyer. Otherwise, take a deep breath, don't contact your ex again for any reason, and stop worrying.

I would add, don't even respond to him at all if he contacts you.

For one, stay away from him. Block all forms of communication with him. Don't go near him alone ever again either.
With the truck - don't worry about it. If the cops come and talk to you, you don't have to talk to them. If you choose to that's on you. Just forget about him. He's an abuser - they are highly manipulative and do anything to keep control over their victims.
