State: Alabama
Upon trying to return an item to a Fossil retail store that I had just purchased an hour before and still had the receipt for, I was told that they could not complete such a transaction due to their systems being down. I told the cashier that I see that other customers are being rung up for their purchases, seems like their systems are functioning. The manager ended up being called and of course I explained my situation to her. Ended up not getting a refund and was told to come back the following business day (two days later). Of course I was upset...but I wasnt crazy lady on youtube flying off the handle about being out of chicken nuggets upset. I stepped outside the store momentarily to make a phone call then proceeded to my car. The manager I had just spoken to was walking out as well. She commented that I must be hard up for money to fight so hard for a refund. I told her it is days from being Christmas, I still have people to buy for, don't live in the area and I was very inconvenienced. She made smart comments, I made smart comments then she stated that I was following her and she was going to call security. I told her that we are walking the same direction into a parking lot, how could I be sure SHE wasnt following ME. We bickered while carrying on our way then I got into my car. I pull to the end of the row and she has blocked it off. So I, not having time to play games, cut around her and drove off. 8 months later I find out that there is a warrant for my arrest for harassment. This lady has made some charge against me, stating that I caused her to fear for her life and the life of her unborn child. I was denied a public defender due to income but truly cannot afford a lawyer. Just looking for some advice. How can I get out of this ridiculous mess?
