An 83 yr old woman accused of giving alcohol to a minor?

17/07/2011 admin 4 comments

I stay with an 83 yr old woman who is crippled up, doesn’t drink or do any drugs, has never been in any kind of trouble in her entire life and the city just sent a notice to pay a fine for giving a minor alcohol even though no police ever came to her door and no children have been in her house since her own 60 yr old kids left home.
If she is arrested as it says she will be if she doesn’t pay the fine can she sue the city? She said she plans to let them arrest her just to sue the city on grounds of false arrest. Can she do that?
It has to be a clerical error on someones part, but before the city starts locking people up shouldn’t they at least send an officer to investigate? I would think so anyway.
I don’t drink either and have not given alcohol to any kid and never have except my own son who was 17 at the time in my own house. He’s now 26 so that’s not it either.
She hasn’t given any alcohol to any kid anywhere. She did give me a sip of brandy once, but I’m 49 yrs old, clearly old enough.
We have no idea who accused her, what the fine might be and there is no set court appearance date, just a paper saying to pay an undetermined fine as though she has already been found guilty without any kind of trial, investigation or anything.

In my area, she would lose the suit for false arrest.

The arrest would be valid, because the actual charge would be Failure to Appear in Court to answer the original charge.

There is certainly a court date on the paperwork she has. She has the responsibility to go to court and plead not guilty if she didn’t do it.

Ignoring a summons is simply not an option.

So she should easily beat the charge

Yes, she should be made aware of what allegations are being made. Arrested released then a trial. I don’t know about suing the city though, because prosecutors don’t take kindly for adults contributing to the delinquency of minors. It’s very irresponsible.

If in fact the city found her guilty, w/o trial that absolutely violates the constitution, and at the very least the charges should be dropped, but that’s highly unlikely that they would be THAT careless. Do you think it’s possible something was sent by mail for her to appear and it got lost, and they charging her based on not appearing in court. Or maybe the constable delivered the papers to the wrong house. I’d call the district court in your area if I were you to figure this all out. Good luck, I have trouble with them bureaucratic fools here too.

What’s to love about Canada, It’s just USA’s waste land shit and people we don’t want here. You love Shit ! congratulations ass hole.

Call the court house and tell them that the citation is false. And that you would like to file an administrative review.
