FLORIDA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Clearwater Woman Who Was Involved In Bad Arrest Settles For Less Than $20,000
Rosa Matos is going to get apology letters from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and the Clearwater Police Department on top of nearly $20,000 in a settlement of a lawsuit she filed following her arrest in January of 2008. According to TampaBay.com Matos was charged on a warrant for issuing bad checks but she was not the woman sheriff’s were looking for and they later acknowledged that.
Matos shared a name with the woman who was wanted on the bad check charge but that was all the two had in common. When Rosa Matos applied for a job with the Clearwater Police Department the warrant showed up during her background check and she was arrested. She filed a lawsuit due to the wrongful arrest that left her embarrassed and having a difficult time finding a job.
