I am being charged with Forgery and Theft, below is the basic history of what is going on. I had 2 police officers show up at my door (6hours away from there town) I let them in and they threaten to take me and my wife to jail for a federal crime and threaten to take my kids away depending on how well I cooperated. They pretty much threaten me into giving a statement on a recorded.
I was contacted 2 years ago by a family member, they said some people in another city/state where looking for me, when those people contacted me they said it was in regards to a check they recieved with my name on. They said they opened the mail (not belonging to them) and have been searching for the correct person to hand it over too. The name on the check was my complete name, the check was from the US Department of Treasury , in the amount of $20,000+. This made me paranoid about these people, so I contacted the USDT and asked for info regarding why they would be sending me a check. They said they had no way to know, they could tell me nothing. The people who opened the check where insistent it was mine (as they found no other people in the US with my name) so they wanted an address to send it to. I gave them a PO box, when I recieved the check in the mail I took it to a bank, opened an account with it. The bank said it would take 7 - 10 buisness days to clear and verify it was mine and legit, due to the large amount. Everything went through fine, at this point I felt I did everything I was legaly obligated to do. But today 2 officers showed up and say I took a check that wasnt mine and cashed it. Evidently there is someone else with my exact name. I really need help they are telling me i am going to jail for 6-13 years and going to have to pay all this money back, any advice would be greatful thank you
