W. S., an innocent man, was charged with Retail Fraud in Oakland County. He was accused of stealing prescription drugs from a local Rite Aid drug store without paying for them. He actually thought that the item was prepaid and innocently walked out of the store with the item. Rather than making a courtesy call, the store contacted the police and a criminal prosecution was initiated. After months of preparation for trial, and subpoenas sent for important corporate documents, the accusers chose not to appear for trial and the case was dismissed by the district judge in Novi.
