A: A person commits the offense of false imprisonment when, in violation of the personal liberty of another, he arrests, confines, or detains such person without legal authority. Ga. Code Ann. § 16-5-41 (West) What that means is... the defendant prevented another person from freely moving around without permission. No getting around this he is going to need an attorney if his parole can potentially be violated. My sincerest apologies, but I can not provided any additional assistance in your matter unless I am retained as your attorney. However, I hope this helps.
