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

A Fairfax circuit court jury gave Eugene Brye Jr. $600,000 in a lawsuit against Fairfax County-based Interstate van lines. Brye, 43-year-old truck driver, was 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.  Just six days after the notice as he of the Interstate van lines headquarters in Springfield to home in Alabama, under the guidance he received President John D. Morrissette a call from Interstate.  It has been reported that Morrissette said bring back Brye, his supporters say, "You do not immediately appear not the consequences as are around you."

Brye, Blücher decided, not at this point turn around, hung on Morrissette and complete answer his calls.  The Interstate van lines contacted Fairfax County Police and made the claim that brye, Blücher was a terminated employee with a stolen trailer.  Brye Alabama stopped state troopers and arrested him at gunpoint, according to Brye of 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 damages for malicious prosecution, $200,000 for false imprisonment and $340,000 in punitive damages.

This case shows just the fact that you want to make by calling the police and a wrong statement never civil dispute.  The jury takes this same position by the judgment.
