I am not sure what you mean by "mess", but police are just as subject to property rights of others as any one else. If they damaged your property, you should contact an attorney to see if they can be held accountable.

You didn't file the charges, so you can't "drop" them. Only prosecutors file charges, and except in very limited circumstances, only prosecutors can dismiss them. When civilians call the police, they get the State involved in their personal business. Often there are unintended consequences.
He was convicted of possession almost 20 years ago and has not been in any legal trouble since I know that the charges carry a sentence of anywhere from 1-12 years. I’m curious as to what amount of time he will LIKELY be sentenced to based on his history and everything else. Just a professional... View More

If he is facing such serious charges, he surely must already have legal counsel, whom he should discuss this with in detail. Every county has a "local legal culture", and every judge brings his or her own perspective into the sentencing decision. (I started out as prosecutor in Knox... View More

answered on Apr 3, 2020

answered on Apr 3, 2020
That means that the judge is not wanting the warrant to be recalled before service.
