neglegence lawsuit?What is the name of your state? AZ I was arrested for violating an injunction against harassment(gf's mom is crazy) and I happened to have my jaw wired shut at the time and was on a liquid diet. I was locked up for 3 days and taken to 5 different jails in all and couldn't eat anything they served me. every time I was served something to eat I told them the deal and I got the same response every time, "oh, I didn't know" "oh, no one told me." before I was even put into my cell, i sat infront of a guy on the computer and he asked me a whole bunch of questions, and I even informed him that i indeed needed "special treatment" because my jaw was broken. also I was wearing a gucci necklace and a belt that they took before I was initially booked. upon my release I was signing some papers and I noticed it said something about having recieved all my property and I mentioned to the corrections officer that I HADN'T recieved my property and her response was "do you want to get released or not???" so I signed the paper anyway because at that point I just wanted to get out(was my first time in jail). She then helped me fill out a missing property form. I also have a paper/card they gave me that says what property I had when I was initially taken into custody. Is there any legal action I can take against the county for negligence and for my missing/stolen property? do you guys think it would hold up? I'd appreciate your guys' thoughts. btw i just turned 20 if you were wondering. Last edited by brandon20; 09-30-2005 at 01:15 PM. |

| If you sue someone, they will present the written document that says you got everything back. How will you overcome that? You would have to swear under oath that you were a liar. Doesn't sound like you have much of a case on the missing stuff.

| ok but i also filled out a form that says I DIDN'T recieve my stuff, before I was released(she signed it too). does that not make any difference? |

| Did you try going to the station where you were booked and asking for your property back ? Go to the counter. If no, go to the county (or city - whoever arrested you) and file a claim. |
