Justice for Justin

My brother Justin was wrongfully arrested and detained on the morning of October 12, 2015. A woman called the Medford, Oregon police department to report that someone had trespassed onto her property and stolen her medical Marijuana plants that had been growing in her back yard. She claims to have seen Justin get into his vehicle and flee the scene. She gave chase, breaking many traffic laws in the process. At one point, while stopped at a red light, she got out of her vehicle and attempted to approach Justin in his vehicle while yelling. He sped off as soon as the light turned green. She returned to her car and began to chase him again. After attempting to flee from this unknown women and being unable to lose her, he feared that things might escalate. He proceeded to turn on his dome light and load his handgun. When the woman saw he was armed, she backed off and told the police that he had aimed his gun at her. The police arrested him shortly after while on his way home. In the state of Oregon, citizens do not have an obligation to flee before using deadly force if they feel their lives are in danger. Loading his weapon in the vehicle was self-defense, as he had already attempted to flee multiple times.

 The police did not impound his vehicle as they found no evidence of marijuana in it, or on it. They did not test Justin's clothes for marijuana residue. They did not give the woman pursuing my brother recklessly any citations, or sobriety tests. It is unknown if she was sober at the time of the incident. Since his arrest, he has lost one of his jobs. He is a Veteran of the United States Army. He has no criminal record, and has passed a drug test since he was released.

 He is now awaiting his court appearance on October 26 to enter his plea of NOT GUILTY. His trial date is set for March of 2016. We are attempting to raise his attorney expenses so that he has a chance at a full case dismissal. Please help us. We are hardworking Americans who live paycheck-to-paycheck most months. Nobody has the money required to obtain a good defense attorney for Justin. This could be you, or your son, or brother. Who was driving home after a night of work and ended up being pursued by an unknown person making false claims.
