Complaint (Deirdre Jones (Plaintiff) against Jack Daniels (Defendant))
In the case of Deirdre Jones the plaintiff against Jack Daniels the defendant, Deirdre Jones hereby presents a robbery with violence and threat to personal injury accusations against the defendant Jack Daniels.
On the last Friday of this month at about 2.30pm in the afternoon at Freetown street, 11th avenue here in the state of Freedonia, Jack Daniels emerged from the street and caught Deirdre Jones by surprise snatching her pocket book and then proceeded to run away with it.
Deirdre Jones determined not to let her purse get lost and considering that she is a two time World Cup sprinting medalist decided to go after Jack Daniels. The defendant Jack Daniels on seeing Deirdre Jones run after him picks up a rock and throws it straight at Deirdre Jones, who ducks and the rock misses her. Deirdre Jones then sprints and catches up with Jack Daniels in eight (8) seconds.
The plaintiff Deirdre Jones then grabs back her pocket book and walks away from the defendant Jack Daniels who immediately begins hurling insults and threats to the plaintiff Deirdre Jones. Jack Daniels in particular says and I quote “you stupid bitch, drop dead”. Deirdre Jones ignores him and proceeds to walk away.
On reaching home, Deirdre Jones realizes that her purse had fallen of while Jack Daniels was running with it. In the purse had sixty dollars ($60) in cash and other very important personal items.
It is based on these occurrences that Deirdre Jones hereby files a case against Jack Daniels for
- Robbery with violence considering that Jack Daniels grabbed her pocket book forcefully and then proceeded to run with it. Jack Daniels threw a rock at Deirdre Jones in a bid to deter her from pursuing her personal property.
- Infringement to personal security. Jack Daniels could have really hurt Deirdre Jones had she not evaded the rock which Jack Daniels threw at her.
- Abuse. Jack Daniels yells calling Deirdre Jones a bitch just because she managed to get her purse back.
- Death threats. Jack Daniels tells Deirdre Jones she is a dead. Jack Daniels is using slang literally to mean that he would kill Deirdre Jones. Even though he does not follow up on the threats, the utterance still hold as a threat towards the life of Deirdre Jones.
- Deirdre Jones loses her money sixty dollars and her very important personal items in the course of this event.
Deirdre Jones demands that Jack Daniels not only compensate her for the money and personal items she lost in cash but also that Jack Daniels be sentenced for the above accusations. Deirdre Jones demands an amount not less than $6000 from the defendant for the personal items lost and that is not including the legal fees incurred. Deirdre ones also got a little bit traumatized from this particular ordeal considering the amount of time she would now waste and the money she would spend trying to recover her personal items which included very important documents.
The defendant Jack Daniels acted with the full knowledge and thus his intentions were clearly to get away with the purse even if it meant causing physical injury and emotional distress to the plaintiff. That is why he grabbed the purse and attempted to prevent the plaintiff from recovering it by throwing a rock at her.
