More details to this question:
I rented 2 tv's from rent a center one of them is broken so I decided to put it in the shop and was unable to get it out just yet I told them I was giving the tv's back because I'm not able to make the payment. I will be getting paid to get the t.v. out on the 23rd of this month. But they are threatening to send the police to my job to arrest me. Can they do that?

Yes. There is a Florida Statute 817 that provides that any rental property not returned or paid for on demand is evidence of your intent to setal it. They have to provide you a written demand generally. Not sure why you put a rental TV in shop, but you probabaly should get it out and return it.
