I was arrested for posession of a weapon and simple assualt about 3 years ago.
Both charges were total BS.
I was outside of my house trying to keep my drunk girlfriend form driving home. While on the phone with her sister, we were argueing. Her sister calls the Police.
Sister arrives first and is on the phone with Police Dispatch, sees my Fire Debt pager on my waist and tells dispatch that I have a gun. Sister leaves, meets with Police Sgt at ther corner of the street. A patrol car stops at my driveway and picks up my girlfriend. Cops call my cell phone from my girlfriends.
They order me outside, I say, I am outside. I go to the end of the driveway. They search me, find my Fire pager, cuff me and go about their investigation.
The Sgt asks me if I have a gun in the house. At this time my parents are outside. I tell him that I do not have weapons in the house. He says, does anybody have anything that looks like a gun ?
I said, my brother has a paintball gun, but its in a locked case, locked insid eof my mothers closet. I have no access to it. My parents verify. He asks to see it.
My mother says, well I will have to go inside and retrieve it. She brings it outside, and unlocks the case infront of him. He looks at it. It is a very large, bright green paintball marker(gun). He says ok, I am charging you with posession of this paintball gun and simple assualt for threatening your girlfriend with it ?????????
They bring me in and process me.
My father, a former Dept. of Justice employee becomes engraged and orders an internal investigation be conducted on the officer(s) actions that night.
My girlfriend tells the courts that she wishes NOT to proceed with anything, whatsoever. They drop the charges.
However, these fraudulent charges remain on my record. I have contacted an attorney and wish to sue the Officer and Township.
Any suggestions ?
