Good Evening,
Quick general question.
My wife had a joint checking account with a friend/co-worker so she could pay her bills/take care of her business matters while she was working outside of the country. Of course now that relationship has ended and there is dispute over how some of the money was spent. I feel like this is a civil dispute, but its been taken to the police, and the detective is telling us if we don't have an agreement of repayment put on paper and notarized that he will be filing felony charges. Is this a common, accepted practice for the police to threaten charges to force restitution over a disputed amount of money?
Thanks in advance.
