What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Sorry-didn't know where to post this.
Father in law died 2 weeeks ago. Husband and I went and stayed with step mother in law 2 nights. She accused my husband of stealing an electric black & decker drill and $40. She called a few family members and told them that she KNOWS he stole the drill.
We purchased the drill a couple months back at Lowe's. She's demanded to see receipts and demanded her $40 back.
We purchased a flag and staff from family dollar and installed it on her porch while there (father in law was a firefighter). That's the day my husband removed our drill from the trunk of our car (was in there b/c he installed deadbolts at work & had not taken it out when we found out father in law died) and used it to install it on the porch. She lives in a trailer park and has two trailers. She had my husband and I go over to the second trailer on THURSDAY to retrieve laxatives, a leg brace, dog medicine, and makeup.
Point is....husband didn't go to second trailer and steal a freaking drill. She's telling family members that my husband is a liar and she knows he took it.
What recourse do we have? Is this slander? Help!
