Re: accused of been a felon but im not

Yes, whatever property that was seized from you in connection with this apparently mistaken arrest should be returned to you forthwith. And to ensure that such happens, you should first contact the property office or detail of the local law enforecement agency which arrested you and that keeps and accounts for prisoner property and ask for the return of your property.

If there is any problem with their releasing the property, then contact the local prosecutor's office(Commonwealth's Attorney) to assist you with the matter.
