What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I recently took my car to an auto repair facility and while it was there someone working at that establishment took (stole) something from my vehicle. Once I noticed the item was missing, I went back into the establishment to confront the person that was working on/in my vehicle. The technician all but "openly admitted" taking the item, but tried to insult my intelligence, and thus some words were said. The manager at the establishment called the cops on me for threatening to harm the technician for stealing from my vehicle. I did, however, pull an ink pen when threatening the guy. Anyway, I find out a week later that a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon has been filed against me.
I would like to know if the issue of the technician stealing from my car is no longer relevant since they filed a charge of assault? What is the likely hood of an actual conviction? Should I file a charge against the technician or establishment for the theft?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
