Hello i am new to the forum.
Here is my situation: (grammer might not be 100% correct just heads up)
About a year ago i started a small company with a friend, and now i am being charged with identity theft charges, and criminal impersonation.
Here is the situation, we started an online type company that would be mostly home based until we had steady income. We opened bank accounts together and the whole shindig. About 5 months ago we decided it was not working out very well and we would end ties. We closed our bank accounts and everything and i thought that would be that. About two weeks later while i was out of town a check went through that i forgot to cancel, not a big deal but it left a negative balance on the account. I told him that i would just pay it and that would be the end of it. instead he decided to pay for it and demand me to pay him back. I said i would when i returned, he instantly began accusing me of scamming him and that i was trying to make him just pay for the balance. When i returned i tried to contact him to pay the money back; he gave be the biggest run around and refused to meet up with me.
A few day later one of the guys that worked with us called me and told me that he had some money that he forgot to deposit and he wanted to meet up. i met up with him at a McDonald's to get the money. When i arrived he said he forgot it at home after searching through his trunk. when i was leaving i was pulled over and the police said it looked like i just did a drug deal. (oh the guy i started the company with his dad is a Sargent in the district that i got pulled over in) They told me they are going to search the car because they had probable cause. the searched the car and took all my business paperwork everything that tied me and my previous partner together. all of our contracts everything!
We had two accounts that were still open. A cell phone account that i used, and a Internet and home phone bill. the Internet and home phone bill was for my address because we mostly ran the company out of my house and i used the cell phone that was in his name for business and personal use, because we agreed that we would put it in his name and other things were in mine. he is now claiming that he gave me no permission to do those things and i am being charged with felony charges. What should i do?
