More details to this question:
My previous employer (Doubletree) had me arrested and accused me of charging a guests credit card and keeping the money. That never happened. I gave the man a receipt for cash, and if his credit card was charged I did not do it. They NEVER asked me about this. They just set me up to be arrested. Here is where it gets muddied. The guest did have cash but I did not have my key that day to give him change so he did NOT give me the full amount. After taking cash in your drawer, you have to do a “drop” or cash drop on the system. I did not do that. I left everything as was in the system to indicate that I HAD taken cash. His room was approx $374. They told police it was $553. They ended up not showing for the hearing and it was dismissed. But I lost a LOT in the process of this. Including my car and am now facing eviction due to all the financial burdens of this case.

You would've had a case had you gotten an attorney to represent you in the underlying criminal charges to begin with so it could've managed appropriately. Furthermore, if it got dismissed the preliminary hearing because they did not show up, the prosecution can decide to re-file that charge and charge you again. I would highly recommend reaching out to us if you get charged again if they re-file the charges. you can reach us at Kearney Law - 717-668-8159.
