看这个48岁休斯顿女人的遭遇,刚下游轮就被抓了,因为一个同名的26岁女人犯事了。当地警察附上了错误的驾照照片。 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A Texas tourist who took a cruise from Port Everglades returned, only to be arrested at the port on a felony child endangerment charge. She spent three nights in the Broward County Jail, but it turns out law enforcement officials detained the wrong person. “I just don’t understand how something like this can happen,” Jennifer Heath Box, 48, of Houston told Local 10 News. Heath Box has never been arrested before. “The whole time I was like, ‘this is not happening,’” she said. “The strip search, the humiliation, the shackles, the prison uniform, being issued blankets.” Heath Box spent three nights inside the Broward County Jail, including Christmas Day last year. She said she missed saying goodbye to her eldest son who deployed on a three-year military mission while she sat behind bars for a crime she never committed. Heath Box and her entire family spent a week on board the Harmony of the Seas. It was her first cruise and they were celebrating the fact that her brother was cancer free. When the ship docked at Port Everglades, Heath Box scanned her identification as she disembarked the ship. “And it automatically came up with a warning,” she said. “At that point, security surrounded me along with the police, asked me if I was Jennifer Heath and asked me to remove my jewelry.” Heath Box said she was told there was an active warrant for her arrest out of Houston. “I said, ‘What am I being arrested for?’” Heath Box said. “That’s whenever they said ‘child endangerment.’ They escorted me off the ship in front of everyone.” Heath Box claims there were plenty of signs that authorities detained the wrong person. She says the person described in the warrant was not her, which should have raised a red flag. She said she pleaded with the arresting officer, Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputy Peter Peraza. If the name sounds familiar, Peraza is the deputy who was reinstated after being acquitted of manslaughter after shooting a man who had an air rifle in 2013. Peraza was reinstated as a deputy and now works at the port. The warrant clearly states the child endangerment charge involved a 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and the Jennifer Heath on the warrant had a date of birth of April 7, 1997, meaning the woman would have been 26. “I’m 49 years old — huge age difference,” Heath Box said. “My oldest is 30 and the person the warrant was for was born in ‘97. Physically impossible.” “I don’t have children under the age of 5,” she added. “All they kept saying (was) ‘look at the picture.’” At intake inside the Broward County Jail, Heath Box claims a detention deputy raised a red flag. “She came out and she handed the DL to Peter and she said, ‘We ran her DL and we don’t have anything in the system for her,’” Heath Box said. “Peter came back and said, ‘No. It is her. Let me show you. I can prove to you it is her. I will show you the picture.’ Again, that was all he was focused on.’” Heath Box was booked and placed on a hold for Houston, and sat in jail Dec. 24, 25 and 26 of last year. “I had a police officer come to my cell on the 26th (and say,) ‘I apologize’ and tell me, ‘We know you’re not the Jennifer Heath, we know you have been incarcerated wrongly. I said, ‘Does this mean I get released?’ I was told ‘no.’ In a statement to Local 10 News, BSO said they sympathize with the situation and were alerted to the warrant by Customs and Border Protection. They said they reached out to authorities in Houston who confirmed the warrant, and on Dec. 26, BSO says they asked authorities in Harris County, Texas, for fingerprints to confirm they had the right person. Hours later, they were told there were no prints because Heath Box had never been arrested before. A BSO spokesperson says on Dec. 27, a message was sent saying, ‘Release our hold on the above named subject as soon as possible’ with no further explanation. “Houston could have made the mistake by putting the wrong picture -- there were so many differences. It didn’t have to get taken that far,” Heath Box said. The Sheriff’s Office says Peraza followed the appropriate protocols and that his actions were reviewed by the internal affairs division, and no employee misconduct was found. The matter is now closed. “When I was getting released I was told, ‘We are sorry it happened,’” Heath Box said. “I am spending my funds trying to clear my name and so far I have spent $10,000 of my savings trying to clear my name.” “I’m terrified this can happen again,” Heath Box said.
23年6月18号。我开始了一段一生难忘的经历。我在阿联酋被警察无理由拘留了5天。
工作原因,公司安排了一段经过阿联酋阿布扎比转机的旅程。经历了近9个小时飞行,我搭乘阿联酋阿提哈德航空从上海落地了阿联酋首都阿布扎比国际机场。
正当我欣喜的落地,准备再次回顾这个我曾经工作3年的机场。我被机场警察在行李安检口拦住,穿着白袍的警察让我出示我的护照,并且将我带到了机场警察室门口。
6月18日23:00开始,我在机场度过了绝望的第一晚。白袍告诉我,我需要等10分钟左右,警察会和我进行谈话。在机场安保室门口,经过一个小时的等待,机场安保将我带到了1号航站楼的一间只有三个废弃躺椅的小房间,进行了第一晚的关押。在这里,你可以要求去洗手间、或者去买水和食物,但是会有配枪的安保随身跟着你。在这里,我无数次的要求和警察谈话,但是,没有任何警察来和我进行任何关于为什么关押我的谈话。同时我错过了我后续的所有航班。
6月19日,经过无眠的一整夜,当地时间早上7:00左右,我在再次带到安保室门口进行等待。我认为,作为一个法治国家,当地警察会对这次扣留关押向我进行说明。然而,尽管我多次询问,机场安保及当地警察全程忽视我的询问。在一个小时的等待后,我等来了一辆满布铁网的囚犯运送车。我被转移到了阿布扎比当地的CID 总部。在这里对我进行了近24小时的拘留。在我进入拘留牢房前,在我的多次近乎乞求的追问下,我仅仅得到了唯一一点信息。警察说,我在迪拜有个案子,但是他们不知道什么案子,需要把我转移到迪拜警局,迪拜警局会对我进行说明。随后将我随身物品全部收走,将我关押。
6月20日下午13:00左右,我被戴上手铐,押送到了迪拜机场T2航站楼附近拘留所。在到达警局第一时间,我再次主动询问迪拜警察,我有什么案子。迪拜警察给我的回复仅有,你等等,会有人和你谈话。随后,再次收走我的所有随身物品,将我关押进拘留牢房。在这里,我受到了为期两天的关押。
迪拜关押第一天,我看见和我一起被转移过来的所有人被陆续叫走处理案件,然而没有我。我无数次的和当地警察询问我的案情,回答我的只有“等等”“我会回来和你说明”,这些最后证实只是敷衍的话语。一整天依然没有任何警察主动和我说明,我有什么案子。在下午17:00左右,有一位这几天唯一一个负责的警察,在我询问之后拿着一张单子过来告诉我,我的案子结束了,我将被转移回阿布扎比CID总部。
他是哪国护照?
他知道为啥吗?还是说让他走了没有任何解释? 这个人之前在阿联酋工作过3年?
说他过去在阿联酋生活期间有案子没了结?
