Arrested at work by employer, a person I knew filed an afidavit that I sold him a piece of equipment that was stolen from my employer, this individual was under investigation for insurance fraud for this item and others. The Police advised my employer of 23 years not to arrest, Employer demanded to arrest me to make an example to other employee's to not steal, have Lawyer hired for this and he thinks will be no billed at grand jury, have also filed grievance with union, I have not been fired but suspended without pay, my question do I have lawsuit against employer and police department for false arrest. hired private investigator and they have found that accuser has very shaky past. I am innocent of charges and feel employer is waiting on grand jury to see if they should reinstate me or fire,I have been waiting now for 3 weeks. also employer did not ask for my side of story untill 3 day's after arrested now they are doing their own investigation and I am before internal review board but have not been contacted since 3day's after arrest where I gave them my statement that the allegations were false and gave them some information that would clear me of false afidavit. Layer that I hired said lets get the criminal part cleared before we talk about civil, Police Department told Private Investigator that they tried to talk employer out of having me arrested. And that I would not be convicted on the word of one person who has a shaky past and may have been fired from previous jobs for theft himself, I had 23 years and was 3 years from being able to retire. Any information would be appreciated
