Hello all!
I lived in Tennessee during 2002, and got myself into some bad situations that I regret. I have never seen people in a state so willing to call the police for things that others would shrug off!
In October, after several months of being laid off, I got into an argument with an employee of a nationally known temporary-help firm in Nashville after she gave a job she'd promised me to another worker. Another employee of the same company in the suburb of Brentwood got into the phone argument. I then drove to a third location in Franklin to inquire regarding the notes listed in my application, but was calm. Well, the Franklin office called their police, who came and told me that the other employees had also called the police in their jurisdictions. I was also told that if I ever walked into one of these company outlets again I could be arrested. But, it appears no one filed any formal charges. But I am sure reports were taken, at least in Franklin.
Then, in December, I was offered an opportunity in Korea and left. My church in Brentwood offered to assist me when I returned, then suddenly withdrew their support when I actually did arrive back in the US. An attorney for the church stated I was no longer welcome on the grounds of the church and that if I wanted to know the "reason" for the sudden change of heart, I had to come to the Brentwood police station, where the police chief, described as "a longtime member of the church" would "discuss" the matter with myself, the attorney, and several "elders". I declined, fearing that the atmosphere would set me up for further difficulties.
While in Korea, I called the Franklin police and was told there was a report on file, but no charges had been filed. But I was told that while the reports would probably not come up in a normal job background check, a job requiring an FBI check would "probably" pull these up.
My questions: how long are these on file in Tennessee, how can I find out what has been said about me (particularly in Brentwood, which i fear the most), and what can I do, if anything, regarding this?
Am I branded for life?
Thanks!
