An employer take not the law into his own hands and swear out a warrant, only because it has a civil dispute with an employee.  This is basically what a jury in Fairfax completed.

A Fairfax circuit court jury is Eugene Brye Jr. $600,000 in a lawsuit against Fairfax County-based Interstate van lines. Brye, 43-year-old truck driver, had sued his former employer for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment.

In 2008, Brye submitted a written notice to the Interstate van lines, he, certainly, are effective in three weeks.  Sent two years go Brye this notice as an independent entrepreneur for the company.  Only six days after the notice, as administered by the Interstate van lines headquarters in Springfield to home in Alabama, under the direction, he got a call from Interstate President John D. Morrissette.  It was reported that Morrissette said return Brye his supporters say, "If you do not immediately turn around you not the consequences as are."

Brye decided, not at this point turn around, hung on Morrissette and complete answer his calls.  Interstate van lines contacted Fairfax County Police and made the claim that Brye was a terminated employee with a stolen trailer.  Brye Alabama stopped state troopers and arrested him at gunpoint, according to Brye's lawyers.

After he 34 days in Macon County jail, again Brye Fairfax, where prosecutors immediately his charges dropped.  Brye filed a lawsuit against the Interstate van lines and received 50,000 US dollars damages for malicious prosecution, $200,000 for false imprisonment and $340,000 in punitive damages.

This case shows only the fact that you never a civil dispute by calling the police and make a false claim to.  The jury takes this same position by the judgment.
