I like how he plays the victim here.

At the moment, Memmo, who said he was released from jail after a few hours, is looking for a lawyer to handle his case. If found guilty, Memmo faces the prospect of up to 15 years in prison for the two charges, as well as thousands of dollars in fines and the various legal fees he expects to accrue as he goes about mounting his defense.

“Luckily, I have the money to take care of the situation,” he said. “But that’s my hard-earned money that I have to pay to defend myself for something that was delivered to my doorstep.”
It his dumbassery that got him in this mess. All he hd to do was the right thing, but at every chance he had to do that, he chose to lie or ignore calls from the police and delivery company.

A delivery truck mistakenly brought an 86-inch TV to his home — then the cops took him to jail

There is no law that states you have to answer your phone. There is no law that states that you even have to have a phone.

No but then the police show up at your door, which they did.

I know I'm batting my head against a brick wall, but I will post them again.



General Law - Part I, Title XV, Chapter 93, Section 43



39 U.S. Code § 3009 - Mailing of unordered merchandise _ U.S. Code _ US Law _ LII _ Legal Information Institute

I can’t do this again. It’s not applicable in this case. Again if local car dealership drops your neighbors new car in your driveway, you don’t get to keep it. Those laws are not about this type situation they are about unsolicited goods deliberately sent to you, not mistaken deliveries.

Seems to me a civil matter. The police aren't a collection agency. It doesn't even seem clear he broke any laws.

So what are the laws that cover this? If you dispute the ones posted, you need to provide laws to the contrary.

The police were at his door multiple times. The local store where the tv was delivered from called after the guy repeatedly refused to give back a tv they were supposed to have delivered to another address. Of course it’s not civil, it’s theft. In the same category of trying to keep $5,000 the bank accidentally deposited in your account. It might be fun to think Finders Keepers is the law but it’s not.

He was charged with larceny and misleading a police officer. Those aren't civil matters.

It might be but until the law that counters the only one posted is provided, at best it might be.

Being charged with something does not make it factual. He says he does not remember if he signed or not. He might be lying but prove it.
