Q: My dad got arrested for PD but they arrested him inside his home and no proof of him outside. And he's on parole.
He was in his own home not bothering anyone. Cop showed up knocked on the door and arrested him inside his home.. The arresting officer was involved in my boyfriends child custody case last year I've been told that him being arrested in his home is illegal
A: Your Father being on Parole could be a huge problem. It is possible someone set him up to violate his Parole. He should immediately hire a lawyer to contest the Public Intoxication charge. Hopefully he has not already plead Guilty, as is often the case on PD. Such a conviction could be devastating, but he might not be violated completely. Again hire a competent attorney now. Also many legal arrests are made within one's home.
