Milan, TN asked in Libel & Slander for Tennessee

Q: My car was seized due to a drug charge. After my sentencing, the judge ordered the car be returned.

When I went to retrieve the car, I looked in the glove box and a sealed evidence bag (from someone else’s case) was in there. What should I do?

A: Call your attorney and ask him for assistance. This should be returned to the District Attorney General who will need it for a case. And maybe there is something that you might get for your honesty from the DA. Some LEO is going to be very embarrassed, so it is better to deal with the DA than the Sheriff.
