Sassy Trucker’s Legal Battle Unfolds
The rental car agency had reportedly impounded Allen’s vehicle with her passport and credit cards still inside following the accident. When she attempted to retrieve her belongings, she claimed the agency demanded a fee before returning her possessions. According to Allen, she complied with their request and headed to the rental car agency, expecting a straightforward resolution. However, events took an unexpected turn from there, rapidly escalating into a situation she had not anticipated.
Amid a dispute over the alleged fees, Allen recounted an encounter where an employee from the rental car company confronted her. She asserted that the employee followed her outside and threatened to involve the police due to her raised voice during the argument. Allen agreed to their suggestion, saying, “OK, you can call the cops.” Several days later, Allen found herself arrested and spent a day in jail for her involvement in the verbal dispute. This behavior goes against the strict rules set forth by the United Arab Emirates. Under Emirati law, publicly insulting another person carries penalties of up to one year in prison and substantial fines. This unforeseen development left Allen shocked, nervous, scared, and uncertain about her next steps.
