What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Delaware
I was arrested early in November for tackling a process server that came to my house to serve papers to my mother. However, when I asked her for her name, she told me Lynda, but she doesn't know me. I closed the door for a minute, reopened it and told her she doesn't live here. She said just give her the papers, so I said get the f--- out of here and started to close the door. She put her foot in the door way and shoved the papers in my face. I reacted by tackling her outside and coninuing to say get the f out of here until she drove off.
Firstly, I can hardly get in touch with my public defender, hes overloaded with cases and it took him 3 days to pick up the phone to tell me hes busy, and only spoke to me for a few minutes. This is a first offense for me so I have a few questions maybe you can help me with.
Should I file a civil suit for tresspassing? I don't understand why she wasn't arrested as well, she did not tell me who she was, just her first name. She should have told me she was a process server or working for the court in some fashion.
Second, should I go public with this and write letters in the newspapers pointing her and the name of the company out and desribe what happened? Would this help any?
Third, Chances are they will offer to plead me out with offensive touching, fine, and probations. If thats the case, should I take it, or proclaim my innocence because she litteraly stepped in my house after telling her to get the f--- out of here and tried to close the door. fyi, she was tackled a few feet outside from the door, when she shoved the papers in my face, I came after her, she started to back up and I tackled and continued to tell her to get the f--- out until she left. Thats when her and the cops came back a half hour later and arrested me.
