i was called 2 months ago by an officer. I confirmed it was a real officer. He called my cell phone number, which could only have been provided by the complainant, because my mom pays my cell phone bill from another state and I don't have a land line so there's nothing really official linking me to the phone number... He said an acquaintance of mine filled out a complaint about me and asked if I knew the complainant. I said I hadn't SEEN him in a really long time and haven't spoken to him in a pretty long time...the officer wasn't happy with my vagueness, although I wasn't lying. He assured me he had proof and wanted me to comment further. I declined to comment without a lawyer. He seemed quite irritated and said "I could charge each event individually, but I mean... you're gonna be charged with something..and I want this to be easy...so let me know what you want to do." I replied, "you tell me..Im not sure how this works, do you want my lawyer to call you?" He seemed unsure himself of how this would work...he seemed a little confused or thrown off and he said, "yeah you can have your lawyer call me, or I'll see what I'm gonna do here..."
My lawyer called him and offered to surrender me to the station the following business day, which was Monday (yes the cop called on Sat. Oct. 29.) At first, the cop told my lawyer he's about to go on vacation and doesnt want to arrest me beforehand. When the cop returned from vacation, my lawyer called again at which point the cop said he needs to get the complainant's signature and IF it happens it'll be another two weeks at least, maybe longer.... That was 7 weeks ago and 9 weeks total since initial contact from the cop.
What does this sound like to you? So many questions. Why did he call me instead of visiting me in person? Why did he call me so far in advance of arrest? Why did he decline my lawyer's offer to surrender me? Why hasn't he been forthcoming in calling my lawyer back (every single contact was initiated by my lawyer to the cop and once the cop even tried to avoid talking to him bc he was busy, but my lawyer persisted by saying it wouldn't take long...), why would the cops pursue an investigation when the complainant isn't even sure he wants to press charges? Why weren't my computer or phone seized? The complaint was actually first filled out on Jan. 3, 2011 and I wasn't called for almost 11 months... the complainant followed up on it and urged action to be taken...
