In February 2000, my cousin convinced the PG county police that I was trying to kill her. I hired a criminal attorney and the charge was reduced to "telephone harassment". 20 friends and family appeared with me at my hearing as possible character witness and the accuser didn't show. The charges were dismissed, but I was traumatized and am just now able to talk or write about this.
After the hearing was over, a police officer or court clerk, I don't remember which, approached me and asked me to sign a waiver stating that I wouldn't sue the Prince George's police department and I signed it because at the time, I held a DoD top secret security clearance and didn't want this incident to affect my update. I was told that my record would be expunged.
Well the 7th year anniversary of the hearing is coming up and I want to know if I can sue the Prince George's police department, the County and/or the State for the trauma I've suffered; depression, seeing psychiatrist, ruined relationships, quitting my job and moving out of state.
Thank you.
