I have been summoned to court for charges regarding interference with law enforcement (giving false information) and two minor traffic infractions. The initial ticket (traffic) was signed and ticketed to "Jane Doe". Within weeks though, I received an arrest warrant with the charges of interference with LEO and the traffic infractions. "Jane Doe" was able to dodge the traffic violations by placing me as the guilty party and was able to do so with little legal action and law enforcement interaction (docs. prints. ID. ect.). Simply by calling and pointing the finger at me. "Jane Doe" is not facing any charges or summons to court or any legal pressure. How can I be so easily accused/charged with no proof of these actions?
Answer
I'm not sure if there were Alias tickets written for Jane Doe, or your use of Jane Doe was to not divulge an actual person's identity. It seems that your ultimate question is "How can I be accused of a crime, based upon the statement by "Jane Doe" that I was the person who committed it?" If the Police believe that a crime or violation has been committed, and a citizen tells them that they saw someone do it, they are likely to pursue that someone. The criminal can do this to try to avoid prosecution. It happens unfortunately too many times. I've seen minor grandsons pursued because their grandfather pointed authorities to them and away from himself.
Being accused or even prosecuted for a crime, does not equate to being found guilty of that crime. The State must still prove its case, unless you fail to defend. You may contact me via email if you wish for legal representation to defend you from these charges. If you do not use my services, I suggest that you consult directly with a criminal defense attorney, long before your hearing date. These conviction could cost you jobs, higher insurance premiums, and/or damage your credit.
Good luck
