I reported a property crime in progress calling 911.
Apparently the excellent video surveillance system the business has in place resulted in the arrest of the perpetrator(s).
I found this out when subpoenaed to appear as a witness by the District Attourney.
The incident occurred to a neighboring establishment while I was on the job doing my property rounds.
My dilemma is I have now appeared 4 times at the court house 25 miles away and each time after about half a day the motion to continue is granted which means another trip at a later date to the court house.
My employer was at first very enthusiastic as all the local businesses are experiencing a rash of property crime… now not so much as my departure is affecting patient care at the hospital…
For those that know… is there a limit to how many times a witness can be subpoenaed by the prosecution?
I had no contact nor could I identify party(s) involved and can only testify as to the time I heard the glass shatter and seeing someone leaving premises through the shattered glass carrying a sack and speed off in a waiting car…
PS… the owner of the affected business has not made or been asked to appear in court and was surprised when I said I have???
