I got a phone call from my wife yesterday around 11am. She wanted me to go down to the county jail in Manchester, TN and bail my step daughter out of jail. All my wife told me is she was arrested under a sealed order of forgery. I got there, and this is what I learned. A county police officer had gone to her place of work, with NO paper work of any kind, told her boss he was there to pick her up and take her to jail. She was called to the nurses station in front of everyone. The officer asker her if she was Ashley, she said yes. Didn't ask her last name, he told her he was taking her to jail, and wouldn't tell her why, didn't offer any paper work, just took her off in front of everyone. He dropped her off by a door, and then left. She had to go into the county jail by herself. She was then booked, fingerprinted, mugshot and what ever else, and was never given her maranda rights, and was not told why she had been arrested. She was there for over 4 hours before I got there, and I was told when I got there, she had been arrested under a sealed order, and it was about forgery. When I got to talk to her, she told me as they were booking her, they had three sheets of paper stapled together. On the third sheet, there was a picture of her, her name, date of birth, and social security number, EXCEPT IT WASNT HER PICTURE. it was a picture of a black woman, and Ashley is white. When Alsley said the picture wasn't her, the officer said it must be a mistake, tore it off and threw it away. After I found this out, I told her to go back and get that paper, and the officers said they couldn't find it. She now must appear in court in two days. So, can you now in America, be arrested at your place of employment, with no paperwork of any kind, taken to jail and not be read your rights, not be told what you are being charged with, and even have someone else's mug shot on their paperwork, just to have that evidence thrown away? We will find outing Wednesday. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
