Legal Question in Personal Injury in Minnesota
Car key's and a ruined life
I was just arrested 6/26 on a
girlfriend situation in the city of
maple plain minnesota. 6/26/08,
angry girl decides to call 911 out of
sheer emotion and hung up. they
called back, she answered, said
everythings okay, and 5 min later,
they placed me under arrest for a
911 interrupt when I TRULY did not
do it. We were arguing, but no
bruises or scars of course. An
''invisible''domestic, another dis-
orderly condct, and 911 interrupt ?!
How can the police just make up
charges ?? No phone was snatched
or interrupted, no scars, no bruises,
of course they wouldn't have let me
out 6/30/08 (yesterday). I have
court 7/18/08 for this. The police,
during booking, decides to make
judgement call, and withold my car
keys as evidence? with a note on
THEIR item list stating return to
Radke? She has a suspended license,
owes alot to the state. Both of our
names is on vehicle, i got it out the
pound once myself. I am valid. Car
keys documented on jail item slip
that I have right now. No notice
whatsoever. Im lost. I lost my new
job, all my clothes, apartment.
Everything. I need major
assistance. I have no prior felo's, just
a few misdo's . Please help ......

Thank you for your post.
It would seem that the prosecutor may have a very difficult time seeking a conviction in such a case UNLESS there is a statement by a witness (the girl) that you threatened her with physical harm or comitted an acti of physical harm. the same is true of the interference with a 911 call. Even with the young lady as a witness, the case is extremely weak since it would essentially be your word against hers. With experienced counsel, that is unlikely to support a verdict of guilt beyond a "reasonable doubt."
If the witness is willing to cooperate, it may be wise to hire an investigator to pin down her statement. If it contradicts statements made to police, such testimony may prove invaluable.
Certainly, there is a great deal at stake here.
