There was no physical injuries or bruises of any kind. Refused medical attention and I was handcuffed. I was not given a chance to state my side of the account of the acutal story. I was immediately handcuffed and promptly taken to jail, no miranda rights, no statement. Obviously made a false statement to police. Made false report. What to do, please help!
is this a neighbor? A family member?
Regardless, I would think you need an attorney.
Really, we need more info. Did you slam an iron gate? If there was no bruises, ect..it seems it's your word against the other persons. Is the elder a relative, a neighbor. Do they have Dementia? Do you have priors?
Hopifully someone with more knowledge will help you. But if it was me and I had to go to court I would plead "not guilty" and tell the judge I need a lawyer!
Good Luck!
