False Imprisonment
Charges of false imprisonment in Colorado can lead to very serious criminal penalties and possibly a felony conviction that can forever impact your quality of life. Even the allegation of false imprisonment can be devastating because many times employers, landlords, and family members cannot look beyond such charges regardless of the facts. In some cases, standing in front of the door during a domestic argument can result in such a charge.
The experienced Denver criminal defense attorneys at Hebets & McCallin know that false imprisonment charges frequently stem from a domestic altercation or contentious divorce. Allegations of false imprisonment are made maliciously as a spouse attempts to use the criminal justice system to assist a civil court case. In other cases, law enforcement officers can overcharge a defendant at the scene.
Typically, false imprisonment is a class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, it is a Class 5 felony, resulting in up to 3 years in prison and a $100,000 fine, if force is actually used or force is threatened, or if the detention lasts for twelve hours or longer.
If you have been charged with false imprisonment in Denver or anywhere in Colorado, contact our office immediately to speak with a skilled Denver criminal lawyer who will fight to protect your good name and aggressively defend you rights in court.
