QUESTION

Fl. 489.126

Asked on Mar 10th, 2020 on Police Misconduct - Florida
More details to this question:
I was charged with larceny, over 20k under 100k, the investigator used multiple payments added them together to create a violation of 489.126 he took initial payment added 2 other payments that were made at a different time to come up with a 10% of contract price. Investigator never called owner never sent certified mail to requesting me to pull permit or refund money. As required by statue, I have never been arrested nor had a traffic ticket, I am a licensed GC in very good standing. This cost me 4 days in jail only to be released ROR the damage to my reputation has been extremely tarnished. Am I trying to fight city hall by going after the investigator ? I’m actually in the hole on the job the owner was upset because of slow and low pay by the carrier., the owner actually listed the payments correct the investigator added all three up, to create a false charge

You did not state the charges were dismissed. If still pending there is no case.   If there was probable cause for your arrest (not necessarily enough to convict), then there is no false arrest case.   Requirements in civil case like certified mail, do not apply to criminal cases.   There is no requiement for investigator to call you.
