What is the name of your state? Maryland
I recently learned thru an ad from a law firm that I had been charged with telephone harrasment. I was never contacted by the police and as far as I know, no investigation was done. Can I be charged with something without even be questioned about the situation?
Secondly, I didn't even harrass the person who filed these charges against me. Here is the back story: I lent this person (lets call her #1) a cell phone, and when it was returned to me, it was destroyed. I didn't really care, as I didn't want anything to do with this person anymore. I then gave the cell to another friend (lets call her #2) who bought a new handset. She felt the person who destroyed the phone should pay for it, and told her she needed to pay for it. She text messaged her constanly asking when she planned on paying for the phone. The phone and phone number are under my plan, so I'm still owner of it. #1 called me and told me she doesn't think #2 exist, and that I'm the one bothering. I told her I had no motive and I pleaded with her to leave me alone. #2 told her to go to her website and sign up to volunteer at her tsunami fundraiser and things would be even, and she wouldn't bother her about the money anymore. #1 refused to do.
Does she have a case against me? What can I do, because I don't want #2 to get in trouble? Sorry, it was so long, but I wanted to make sure I got everything in.
