Marvin Lopez went to the Orange County Courthouse to pay traffic tickets and ended up in jail on outstanding warrants. Mr. Lopez spent 37 days in jail for crimes he did not commit. Another man who went by the alias of Marvin Lopez was the actual culprit and the mistake was finally noted after 37 days. Mr. Lopez is now threatening to sue Orange County unless they pay a substantial amount of money for this injustice.
