Walmart Woman Lies, Man Spends 47 Days in Jail

This man ends up spending 47 days in jail over what were obviously false accusations. There is a individual named Mik Patel and he was going to a Walmart. He was actually going to pick up some medication for his mother and he has trouble locating it. He's not usually shopping at Walmarts. He's there out of the blue. He can't really find it. And he finds a lady who he believes is just going to help him find the medication. In fact, you see an interaction between the two of them where he's kind of asking her, hey, where can I find this

medication? What aisle should I look into? And at some point you see, and she's on this motorized scooter, which is really designated for the people that are disabled, but she's not disabled, but she's riding it and she has her kids on her lap and one of the kids starts to fall off. So he, as a good citizen, as a good person, tries to help save the kid from falling off the scooter, puts her back on her lap and she tells him where he can find that medication, where she believes that the medication could be. And then he goes and he gets the medication, he comes back to her, he shows her, hey look I you know

I found the medication, strolls out of the store just walking out of the store, pays for it and that's really the extent of the interaction between these two individuals. Well little does he know later this individual goes and reports to the police that he was actually trying to kidnap her child.

Did someone try to take you from mommy? Yeah.

And that's where this whole investigation completely goes off the rails.

He gets arrested on these charges of attempted kidnapping.

I was in the Walmart and I had to rip my baby out of some other man's hands because he was trying to snatch him.

What happened when the cops arrived?

Cops arrived, talked to her. They watched the video footage of the incident. hands because he was trying to block him. What happened when the cops arrived? Cops arrived, talked to her. They watched the video footage of the incident. That's where this really should have started and ended, unless of course they wanted to charge Ms. Miller with filing a false police report. They chose not to do that.

Instead, they chose to go after Mr. Patel. What they did was they took this video footage from Walmart, which is completely exculpatory and proves without question that there was absolutely no attempted kidnapping whatsoever. They took that footage with them and then they went to a grand jury and a woman by the name of Temperance Stoddard testified to the grand jury that Mr. Patel tried to kidnap this woman's child and we have video proof.

And supposedly she couldn't get the video to play. And the court allowed Miss Merchant to subpoena the footage directly from Walmart and as soon as she got it she released it to the public and there was absolute outrage because Mr. Patel spent 47 days in jail when there was this conclusive exculpatory evidence the entire time that the police and prosecutors sat on and let an innocent man sit in jail for 47 days,

innocent man sit in jail for 47 days, they ought to be ashamed of themselves for what they did.
