Brandon, MS asked in Car Accidents and Domestic Violence for Mississippi

Q: I parked behind my boyfriend at his job on private property, and blocked him in from leaving.

He reversed and pushed my car out of the way with his car. Then when he was able to get out, he backed up and hit my car again before driving off . I’m not pressing charges & I wasn’t injured, but can the police? I heard them mention something about private property, but also heard them mention felony?? They told me nothing but I can call them if I want an incident of the report. Also, what kind of charge would it be?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: It could be any number of charges.

For starters, for the damage to your car, get estimates and send them to your insurance company.
