I was informed that I had an arrest warrant by a montgomery county police officer a week ago. I remember him contacting me with email before bu ti thought it was a scam. I got into a fight with mt previous roommate who asked me out but I said no to him and now he charged me with stealing his stuff that he told me to pawn off because he was too busy with work. The *****y thing was he video tapes his room with a party camera. And now the officer had proof that I "stole" the stuff. It was a computer worth 200 and watch worth 20. I went to the pawn shop and got the money and gave it to my roommate, as soon as I rejects him he starts to threaten, blackmail and wants me deported (I have a greencard) now the police emails me again saying I better turn myself in. He has a warrant for my arrest but its not in the system yet. And he wants me to go in myself. He texted me through my phone to set it up to be Friday. I'm nervous because I never had trouble with the law. I'm 18, not a lot of money and living by myself. First. I never received anything in the mail. Second the police emails and texts but never called. Third. The cop never put it into the system( friends that can search criminal records) p9lease please someone tells me if this is ledgit, if it is, I didn't do anything, what can I do or say? Plus I can't afford a lawyer and I don't know what my bail is going to be and how this will affect my job (car sales consultant). Please help!

How did the cop get your email address and cell phone number? Sounds like your "friend" might be setting you up.

Hello d:

I never heard of an investigation conducted by email and text. I don't believe it.

You also don't bail yourself out before you've actually been arrested and charged... and the it's the judge that decides exactly how much it would be.

Try calling the Montgomery County court house and find out if there is a bench warrant out for you. Instead of emailing an unknown idividual. THey can emaill from anywhere... but they can only answer the phone from where you know they should be if you look the number up and call it yourself.

1. no police do not email you

2. no the police would not call you and tell you that there is a warrant, they may call you and act like someone else to have you meet them.

3. no you can not have a warrant unless it is not only "in" the system, but there has been a grand jury hearing normally and a judge has signed a warrant for your arrest.

Nothing you are being told is true, in fact who ever is pretending to be a police office is breaking the law doing so, and should be reported, if you have the text of someone saying they are a police officer take it to the real police and they will arrest them
