michigan. i wasn't sure where to put this so here we go. on 4/30/05 at 1:30pm my family went out to my mothers to visit. we came home around 8:00pm. at 11:10 the police showed up at our door asking me if i had been out to mom's that day, i replyed yes we had been there. the police then said some meds were taken from moms kitchen table, i had remembered helping mom open her meds when she asked after she couldn't get the package opened and thats what i told the officer. he then asked if i would mind if they searched my apartment i said sure i didn't take any meds so no big deal. after asking questions of my gf her son and i, rudely i might add. my gf showed the police that the only meds in the place were hers and they had the dates and her name on the bottles. i then asked what meds of moms were taken, the officer replyed valium. my gf had a prescription for valiums that dated 12/4/04 there were still 10 pills because my gf wouldn't take them after she had the prescription filled. she also has prescriptions for vicadian and tylonel 3 again she either takes them as needed or takes a 1/2 dose. after the police left i called my mother and asked her what was going on, still under the impression thatit was moms meds taken. mom then tells me that my neices husband who is staying there came home and couldn't find his meds, he told mom he had put them on the kitchen table that morning. mom said ''no you couldn't have because i cleaned off the table and there were no pill bottles on the table''. my neices husband then went into another room and called the police and told them that i had taken his meds, knowing full well that he was told that his meds were not on the table. is that filing a false police report and is there anything i can do, besides taking a baseball bat to the side of his skull? thanks for any help and/or feed back. smiles life is full of fun stuff if you sit back and wait for it to happen.

It would be filing a wrongful police report if the niece's husband had the pills in hand when he called the police. If he truly felt his pills were stolen, there is nothing in your post that suggest anything illegal was done.
 
ok, i was thinking the same thing myself. about 7 months ago i helped stop this guy from wrongly accusing my nephew of doing a crime, my gf's son was with my nephew at the time and said that what was said was a lie. both boys, 13 and 15 at the time took poloygraphs and were kept apart until after questioning and the polygraph, their stories matched pretty well. so now we are being targeted by my neices hubby. i knew the police didn't do anything wrong, after all they have a job to do so i don't hold a thing they done against them, even though one was pretty rude, but again thats my fault because of who i was running with 15 or 20 years ago, i was repairing motorcycles for a couple of cycle clubs in the area and i am a known associate of these clubs now. so i expect to have those kind of problems when dealing with the police. its made for some interesting traffic stops in the last 20 years lol.
