Case Number: 2022-CF-003290-B-O,
County: Orange,
Charges: Felony; Theft,
Outcomes: The client owns property in Astatula, and employees for the company he worked for would drop off metal construction cans there so that they wouldn’t have to drive an hour and a half farther back to Orlando for Lake jobs. The client also bought a few cans set for recycling, rebuilt them, and sold them. Company management was told our client was selling a can with a “company sticker” on it and saw that cans were being dropped off on the property “without the company’s permission” and concluded that the client was stealing construction cans, leading to theft charges. There never was any evidence because he never committed a crime. The attorney recommended a trial, the client agreed, and the State dismissed the case before trial when they realized (finally) that there was no evidence of a crime.,
