Let's speculate on what crime my employee committed

Had a call from an employee's family today saying that said employee had been arrested at his home on Friday, and was still in custody. Either didn't know why or didn't want to say. Friend of friend who's a copper said the only way he'd still be held by police today is on a very serious charge e.g murder, which just isn't the case.

He therefore said what will have happened is that he's actually been charged with something and is in custody pending a court hearing. Thing is, especially with the way things are right now, what could he possibly have done to warrant that?

Serious answers sought but will happily accept nonsense as well.

Perhaps a silly question but is this definitely not a lie? Though why would anyone get their family to say they've been arrested?

Nonsense answer: offences against waterfowl

There's no way he would want us to think he'd been arrested. We've got a good relationship and if he was ill, he knows it's not an issue.

Traffic cone theft, littering and bestiality.

SWIM recently got in trouble for some rather mundane, low-level violent offences at the start of lockdown and only just got out, they spent the whole time remanded in custody until their court date.

Any number of offences really, but while I'm not too up on exactly what the criteria is for deciding whether someone is remanded or released on bail, it must be something serious-ish, maybe assault or something drug related? Do you know if he has any previous?

That's still quite quick, it's not uncommon to have to wait at least 6 months to go to court, often longer. Someone I worked with last year was arrested in January and his court date was November. It was supposed to be earlier but the prosecution asked for it to be pushed back at least twice as they needed more time to gather evidence. Obviously that can't go on indefinitely but again it's quite common, particularly with complex cases where there's lots of defendants involved (e.g. drug importation conspiracies) or extremely serious cases (e.g. murder) where the defendant is potentially looking at a long sentence.

Imagine if he was phoning to pull a sickie, panicked, did a voice, and made this up o  the spot

Just hope you've got enough 'buffers' between you and your employee, and you should be fine

I can't conceive if him being violent really, he's just not the type. As for drugs, he was a party animal in a past life and has been pretty open about drug use at that point in his life. I wouldn't put it past him to still indulge from time to time but in terms of dealing, again I would be very surprised.

I mean, it could conceivably be something catching up with him from any point in his life really couldn't it. Fuck knows.
