Q: My son spent 9 days in jail for identity theft and was transported to another state without his consent, can he sue?
My son was taken to Oklahoma County jail for a warrant in Yavapai Arizona, he was incarcerated in Oklahoma County for 7 days then transported to Arizona, they saw they had the wrong person then released him can something be done about this? They told him he was actually kidnapped since he didn't sign a waiver to be transported to Yavapai County. They weren't going to send him home until he started crying...then they bought him a plane ticket and give him $200 dollars cash, I feel like that was to keep him from inquiring about a lawsuit. If he has grounds for lawsuit, what's a good attorney to call?
A: Perhaps. Go see a local criminal defense attorney who also handles personal injury cases. You can find them in the phone book or online
