Question

Scenario 2 - Torts and Crimes Michael, a former employee of AutoNation Ford, entered the repair shop, claiming that the company owed him $560 in back wages. Michael argued with the general manager, Bill. After several minutes, Bill ordered Michael off the property. Michael refused to leave, so Bill told two mechanics escort him off the property. Michael ran to his truck, but on the way, he grabbed some electronic parts valued over $500 and drove away. Michael refused to return the parts until he was paid. Discuss whether Michael has committed any torts or crimes If the mechanics had forcibly kicked Michael off the property, would the two mechanics or AutoNation Ford be guilty of assault and battery? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

Yes, Michael has comitted crime by harming the property of AutoNation Ford. If after he has claimed for the back wages and has got no response from the company he should've gone to the court. Afterall, who else could've helped him better than the law itself. But after grabbing some electronic parts he has only invited himself more trouble and also driving away like a theif was wrong.

The mechanics who forcibly kicked Michael off the property will not be guilty as they did what was told by their manager to do.
