First, the plaintiff says he was driving his dump truck when it died in the middle of the road. The police called the defendant to tow the vehicle, and he later presented the plaintiff with a $750 bill. The plaintiff says the tow was only 10 miles and is suing for lost wages and legal fees. The defendant says his driver charged $200 for the emergency tow, but the plaintiff offered only $100. When his driver refused the partial payment, he informed the plaintiff the vehicle would be taken back to the shop, which would cost another $200. He claims the plaintiff later showed up at the shop, became aggressive, and was arrested after police were called.
Then, the plaintiff says he was hired to dig a water well on the defendant’s property. He drilled and dug the well, but no water was found. He claims the defendant accused him of drilling in the wrong spot and refused to pay. He is suing for unpaid services. The defendant says he marked the spot with a stake after using a dozer to locate water, but the plaintiff drilled about five feet away from the mark. He argues that the plaintiff failed to drill in the correct location, didn’t find water, and won’t be paid until he does.
Plus, the plaintiff says she agreed to rent a room in the defendant’s home but changed her mind before moving in. She claims the defendant promised to refund her deposit, but he hasn’t, so she’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff and her girlfriend gave him the money to hold the room. A few days later, she backed out, began making threats, and even involved the police.
