yea

you would think that they would put him on the next plane or that the pd that didn't verify his identity would be smart enough to do the right thing but i bet they've circled the lawyers and are in total cya stonewall. and that it will cost em more in the end
 
Oh, Gawd

Whiskey Tango . . .

Is it even possible for an official agency to be that stupid?

Is there some kind of award for that?
 
it is hard to believe

wanna bet it get brought up in depts across the country and in one in tenn in particular.
 
Arfin, hate to be the one to tell you but it happens across the country. Guys get picked up with similar names, or someone uses their name, brothers get arrested, Jrs. instead of Srs., inter alia. Have seen it all.

What I don't understand is why the PD in Nashville did not know that his guy was claiming that he was not the guy that was wanted. :confused: Even if his client didn't tell him, it would be in the police report or the affidavit of P.C.

Have had this happen. You go down to the county jug to see a guy and he jumps up and down that he isn't "Jimmy Lee Longstreet Lee Jasper Lee", but is in fact "Jimmy Lee Jasper Lee" (or his brother or his cousin or whatever) you file your motion for release and talk to the jail commander about Jimmy Lee's fingerprints.

Wonder what happened here???:confused:

Am I the only one that got that?

"Wiskey Tango we're gonna need you to hump it five clicks back out to the extraction point"

Thank God for our legal system!:barf: :barf: :barf:
 
As a county resident, I just spoke with the County Council and the County police representive. Had to express my concern, and expectation that tomorrow's Post will carry story of this gentleman's return to Tennessee at our expense. Would have helped if he had been more vocal in his own state, but it's still Montgomery County's error, not requesting fingerprint check and the county owes him a ride home and an explanation to his employer.
 
He did. He said he'd never been to Maryland, there'd been a mistake. He said so a couple times to the authorities.
 
And I quote:

"Rice told an officer in the fugitive unit that he had never been to Maryland, but he said Rice apparently didn't strenuously fight his detention..." so, if he did "...strenuously fight his detention..." what would they have tossed on? Resisting?! Or perhaps obstruction?!

Then, they would have said, well, we were wrong about the warrant, but he still faces charges for resisting and obstruction. The poor fool couldn't have won for losing. But, he will win soon for this little "mess up". I guess regarding the suspended license, he will be found guilty and his punishment will be "time-served".

Either this guy is as-dumb-as a rock, or is as-sharp-as a razor.

Oh, I guess not. I read your post fast and didn't see the lawyer reference. It seems to imply he didn't speak to his lawyer.
 
often the public defender is overworked with too many cases. This was aparently a simple extradition case so he probable saw the guy once just long enough to tell him to wave his right and go peacefully to Maryland. The public defender probably hears 10 times a week that their client is "the wrong guy" so he probably blew it off. A lot of people seem to have not done their job well. This man should get a free ride back to Tenessee, all lost wages, and an explanation to his employeer of why he was absent from work.
Not to mention the fact that he spent the holidays behind bars.:fire:
 
El Tejon,
You're too high road to do something that stupid:neener:
Like I said,
A lot of people seem to have not done their job well.

I'm just pointing out that may times these "slip-ups" are due to over worked people that hear people cry wolf all day. The public defender may be a noob that just assumed the cops ran his prints and that they made sure of who he was defending. Of course I thought that cops always made sure of that:rolleyes:
 
lol

glad to hear it and as someone who spent some time in the tender care of that organization they were a pretty decent group back in the day. but then again i moved there from pg so it hada be an improvement
 
I'd sue. The police are obligated to take reasonable measures to ensure a persons identity, and in a case where they have the fingerprints for the person the warrant is for, failing to check is nothing less than criminal. Seriously, did they even look similar? Did they check a photograph? Or did they just arrest him because some criminal used his name in the past? I would like more information.
 
it happens shouldn't but it does

i had a kid thst worked for me straiht arrow son of a low life junky we got pulled over they ran his license came back with warrants in his name they took him in. turns out they were dads charges same name. took almost 24 hours to clear him and that was all the stuff in one jurisdiction
 
i suspect

that when he gets home the lawyers will be fist fighting to represent him and get a third of the settlemet
