What is a wrongful arrest? Is it any arrest of an innocent person? What if someone is arrested due to “probable cause” but later turns out to be innocent? Is that a wrongful arrest? Is a wrongful arrest the same as a false arrest?

my son has been incarcerated for alleged act of stalking his ex girlfriend. He lives 3 hours away, and has disabilities. He cannot drive a car. He has to rely on his girlfriend for transportation. He has also been cleared of charges of calling and harassment on the Land Line Phone and mine and his brother’s cell phone. We do not live in Duncan, we live in Tulsa. There is no way this could happen, but he is in jail for doing all of this. He is accused of being somewhere he was not on here say. He was never seen at this residence. She went from saying she heard knocking at the door and then she got a call on the phone saying it was him coming to get her to him knocking at the door and saying who he was. The judge looked over the facts and sent him to jail with a bail of $5,ooo.oo on stalking charges saying he has been doing this for six months even with evidence that he wasn’t in Oklahoma and had no access to my phone or his brother’s phone. After i changed my number, she still said the calls were coming from my phone as well. the judge dropped the phone charges, and while we were waiting to go into court, the police came and arrested him saying he had been charged for stalking for 6 months. How can that be if cleared and there is no legal evidence of the incident. No one saw him, all the information was here say and her story changed each time she was asked about the incident. Also, when she said her was at her home, he was on vacation with his girlfriend and her father in another state.

I plead guilty to breaking a no contact order twice and assault 4 on 8/27/09. I served a forty five day commitment and was released on oct 10 2009. I then called the police on oct 16 2009 to help me with a situation at my house. By the way the no contact order was lifted the day I plead guilty. When the police came to supposedly help me they ended up arresting me for violation of a no contact order. They held me for 3 and a half days and then released me on PR I then went to court the next day and they dismissed the charge because someone there didn’t turn in the paper showing that it was lifted. So I would like to sue the city of everett, I made a mistake and had to pay,now they made a mistake and I want them to pay.

I have a clean record and am being charged with chasing a kid at a nightclub down and punching him “numerous” times. The letter i had gotten had stated that but it was obviously false. The so called “victim” had lied on it and i don’t know what to do. In all honesty the kid had instigated the fight first.
