Arrested. The crime? Under 5k of debt? Why are officers wasting their time on this?
this is their real job… to protect the interests of the wealthy
That tracks.
Do no harm, eh?
Debtors prison?
What was the crime? I wanted to read the article, but it requires a login.
Patients were arrested in 81 of those cases for missing court dates, the records show. In an additional 13 lawsuits, Marshall’s lawyers sought warrants but it is unclear whether an arrest occurred.
They also garnished patients’ paychecks and bank accounts. They routinely charged patients an 18% annual interest rate.
The unpaid bills ranged from several thousand dollars to as little as $101. About half the lawsuits were filed under Marshall’s name and the rest by Heartland Regional OBGYN, the medical practice he solely owned from 1998 to 2012 and then co-owned with another doctor from 2013 to 2019.
It seems some states can arrest if a court date is missed.
