I'm in some major trouble and need major help. Two weeks ago my dalmation was "dognapped" from my residence. Since then we have been recieving daily drunken phone calls from "Michael" demanding two hundred and fifty dollars for the return of Noodles (I can hear him barking in the background). I went to the police for help and to get the calls traced, but they said they couldn't help as it would be "too complicated".
Well, last sunday afternoon my daughter was out in the front yard playing until she bursted in the house in tears and ran to the couch I was sitting on. I asked her what was wrong and she said she saw Michael walking Noodles down the street. I asked her if she was sure it was him. She just kept crying. At this point I was infuriated. I stomped over to the counter, tore the keys to my suv off it and jumped in the truck. As I'm backing down the driveway sure enough way down the street I see a person in a red hooded sweatshirt walking my damn dog. I floor it down the street and slam on the brakes right behind Michael.
He turns around as Im jumping out of the car. As i'm walking towards him I point and yell "give me the dog back". This jerk looked puzzled, then angry as he said "You moron" and turned around and kept walking. I stomped up behind him and jerked him down to the ground by his hood. I violently tried to wrestle the leash out of his hand (it came out but the dog jumped away) and while he was laying on his back he grabbed my ankle causing me to fall and scrape my elbow. He scrambled over and tried to get on top of me while punching me in the face. I rolled him back over and tried to use his sweatshirt to choke him as he was out of control.
By this time neighbors were emerging and two of them ran up and tackled me and started punching me in the back of the head/neck. I scrambled back up to my feet but I got taken down again. They held me down while I was screaming for help but no one came to help me. Soon a couple police cruisers came roaring in and after hearing both stories, arrested me (you read that right). I don't know what to do (i never got to see the dogs collar with owner info for myself although they say it didnt have my address on it- michael switched it) and I'm facing major trouble from what my lawyer has told me, but I think im going to fire him. Hes not very good. I'm going to file a suit against the neighbors for their barbaric "citizen's arrest" aka mugging and against michael for assaulting me. I'm looking for any and all advice to get me out of this horrible situation.
P.S. - I am filing a temporary restraining order against those neighbors that viciously attacked and mugged me. Would a civil suit be in line to make restitution for their "citizens arrest"? I've seen them a couple times and weve exchanged glances. This situation isn't getting any better, I'm just ready to have Noodles back and get past all of this.
