First sorry if I didn't spell lawyer right. The fog is thick tonight. My boyfriend has been out of work for about two months now, maybe three. Yesterday we found a card on my door and it was from an investigator. I called the number but didn't get an answer so I left my number and told him to call me. Well this morning my boyfriend was filling out aplications and when we were almost ready to go turn them in this investigator called me. I thought that he was probably looking for my neighbors grandson and had the worng house because they moved. Her grandson is always in trouble. Well then he asked if my boyfriend lived here , so then I thought they were wanting to talk to him about an incident that happend a year or teo ago. What happend was I was sleeping and he had been banging on the door, but I slept right through it.Well he had his key in the door and was trying to get in when I got up and unlatched the butterfly lock we have. Well right when I unlatched that he went to push really hard on the door to get past the latch and the door hit me in the face causing blood to go everywhere and being half asleep this scared me and I ran out of my house thinking he did this on purpose. My kids dad was abusive so I didn't know what he might be thinking, I get scared easily necause of that. Well anyway, I go out of my house and my neighbor sees my face covered in blood and calls the cops. The cops come and arrest him and tell me that I'm lying about being hit by the door even though I really wasn't. I went made my statement and he was released on bail and we never heard anything back about this.We were told that we may have to go to court one day for this and so I thought this detective was calling about this incident. I lied and told the detective that we were no longer together. This was our conversation: cop: Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but does Juan still live there ME: No we split up a few months ago COP o you know where he lives ME:No I think in a trailer number 25 in Garden City COPo you know what he drives ME:As far as I know he doesn't drive COPo you know where he works ME:The last I heard he worked at the mexican resturaunt Cop: If you see or hear from him can you have him call me. I'm doing an investigation. ME:Yeah Well I got off the phone still beleiving this was possibly about that incident I mentioned earlier. My boyfriend called the detective back telling him that I called and left a message with one of his friends. Well the cop said I'm not going to arrest you but I need you to some down to the police station so that I can ask you some questions. I had my mom take him down to the police station. The cop asked him who my mom was and he said a friend and the cop asked how do you know her and he said that he met her in Garden City. Well then the cop asked him if he broke into the resturaunt he used to work at and stole some money. My boyfriend was already nervous because we both thought this was about that other thing and now he was nervous because he was being accused of stealing from a resturaunt. He told the officer that he quit his job and gave his keys back to the owner. He said that he did know that the store had been broken into because his friend works there and told him that it had happend but that he didn't have anything to do with it. The cop was like so how have you been living without a job for the last few months. My boyfriend said well I know allot of mexicans in Garden city so I have just been staying here or there with them.I'm currently looking for work though. The cop said well the door was broken with a big tool and we have you on video.I'm giving you this chance now to say you did it. I can have you locked up for twenty years for this. My boyfriend told him, I don't steal peoples money, I work for any money I recieve. The cop was then like well you need to admit, but I'm going to let you go today, this is your chance. Ok first of all I just want to say my boyfriend did not do this. On the night this took place he was here with me, but now that I stupidly lied (because I didn't realize that this could be a big deal) he doesn't have his proof. This resturaunt also does not have cameras and even if they do it is not my boyfriend they have on tape! Beleive me we have been dead broke since his last pay check. He even went in there not to long ago asking for his job back! The manager was nice and even gave him free food and had him go in th back to show her where the bleach was. If she thought for one minute he did this she would not have allowed him to go back there. So this is what my boyfriend and I think, we think that the manager had this set up and thought she could put it off on my boyfriend because he had recently quit. My boyfriend has seen this manager take money from the cashregister and put it in her pocket when he worked there and she would give the tip money to her kids. I'm so scared now and wish I had just been honest with the cop. I feel sos tupid for ever lieing, but like I said we had no idea he was being blamed for this robbery. He didn't do it, but they seem to be dead set on him. My mom said that if they had him on video they would have arrested him today. My boyfriend told them he would do a finger prints test and everything because he didn't do it. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard of! How can they blame an innocent person? Should he get a lawyer and sue them for slander of character? |
