Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah
my girlfriends family had a problem with a neighbor the other day and after a lot of yelling back and forth WE(we being me and my girlfriends family) called the cops on the nieghbor because we were tired of getting threatened by the neighbor. The cops got here and one thing lead to another and then APnP was called (girlfriends step dad is on paroll) APnP brought a dog and searched the house. Then my father in law (girlfriends step dad) was getting taken to jail because of two COLLECTORS knives that were at the house. The one belonged to me and the other belonged to his wife. My question is: Can my father in law get charged for the knives (getting a third degree felony for having a dangerous weapon when being restricted) when WE are the ones who called the cops on the neighbors?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If father in law possessed the knives he violated parole. If the knives did not belong to him, nor did he possess then he should be able to prove that to AP&P. It does not matter who called the police, the issue is whether he broke parole.
