What is the name of your state? Florida.
I hope i did this in the right place.i live in Florida & i am in a situation where i was arrested and now awaiting a court date for taking money that was hanging out of a bank night drop box and running it directly to the police station which took 2 whole minutes to do. the officer counted it and recorded it in front of me. my finance and my 13 year old son and my 8 year old son were with me when this happened and nobody took a single penny from this money. now i am going to court because i feel i am getting this pinned on me. i did not keep any money and i returned every dollar that way there. now that i am on the jail log and i have NEVER done anything wrong in my life(legally speaking), i am not untrusted by my family,friends and even by some people at work. i feel my name have been used dishonestly in an attempt to "get someone" for this. i am 34 years old and never been in trouble, no record,never done drugs ,and never broke the law. i was only at the bank to make my deposit for my mothers acct. the officer that was dealing with this says "i will go to the bank and take a look tonight". He went the NEXT evening. now i am stressed over this situation,untrusted, and customers look at me like a leper. i drive truck short haul and i live in a small town ,so people know people. i mean..if i were ever to be dishonest,you think i would do it in front of my own kids? c'mon.
i need advise. i am thinking of countersueing for defamation of character,loss of wages and mental stress. loss of wages because once i am a "felon" most truck companies wont accept me as an employee. i firmly believe the company the money belonged to just needs someone to pin it on so insurance can be claimed or something.:confused:

Who, exactly, is taking you to court over this? The company whose money was left hanging out of the night deposit box? Is the company claiming money was missing from their deposit?

Were you arrested the night you turned the money into the police, or did the police arrest you later?

If you post more details, to help me understand the situation better, I can perhaps tell you if there is any defamation action possible.
