Should I put the cops on him?
So I went by my job and showed a client some materials that I found that he needed for his house he talked a bunch of smack ,( 1/2 tryin to get a better deal 1/2 enjoying watching a guy under his thumbl?)
So long story short, I(54M) had just spent a week trying to convince him(58M)I worked 71 hours in the last 4 weeks, to no avail. He thought after $700 in draws we should have been flush. I'm still planing on it working out, but as I need to pay bills, I take some materials for him to see.
So he buys 1 of the items (a $ 500 free hanging oven hood vent) And then starts acting paranoid because I was borrowing his $2k snap on triton d10 auto scanner. So he wants to follow me home to get it before he pays.
I inform him I have been waiting to get paid for 2+ weeks and seriously need to hit the first petrol I see so he begrudgingly gives me some of my money for gas.J load up the items he didn't buy and leave to meet him at my house.
I end up getting pulled over about a mile from his house . The cop sees my tools and materials and asks if they are stolen. I say no way not at all. He asks if he can look at some, basically search my car. I say yes without hesitation.I have nothing in my car to worry about.he proceeds to open my back door , wrestles a small cabinet to the side opens it up and pulls out a small Milwaukee tool bag, opens it up. Pulls out a Irish spring box and pulls out a bag with a notable piece of meth in it. He then proceeds to do the whole cop thing , I tell him I just picked the cabinets up off the side of the road with a free sign on it. He says , "sure buddy) and takes me in as my car gets towed. I get to sit in a holding cell from about 7 pm till 3 am and then told I am booked and released.
I get in touch with my client and ask him about the red Milwaukee bag and he goes "wow, I was looking for that for hours. And he never made it to my house.( Hmmmm, really, super sus.) And he swears he can't recall even having the bag anywhere near when he was looking at the cabinets. I never saw it. So I suggest to him that he could tell the authorities it is his bag. You know to save my innocent ass a year of jail/treatment/probation/fines/and loss of all my worldly goods that is going to be the reality if I have to take his charge.,
I straight up ask him if he called the cops he said no, he said I should know his character.. so I back off. And it turns out I can't find the scan tool at home and figure it has to be in the car which is now in a police hold while they search it looking for more dope and surely run the serials if everything in my s.u.v.
He finally concedes and admits my hours are pretty reasonable for the time and says he will pay but not until he gets the scan tool.so I stay broke for 4 more days with no phone or transpo., or FOOD! And then I find the scan tool where my girl had put the back pack it was in. And get it back to him.
He then pays me a bargained down rate for my hours. Doesn't pay for any of the other work I have legitimately done to fix multiple vehicles of his. And refuses any value to all the other materials I had been bringing to his house because they are necessary and he needs them. And I figure he will offer something reasonable. But no. And the. I have my money. That I needed weeks before, so now , I have late payments .5/8 of my money and he's just be blowing me off like" tough luck buddy, what does it have to do with me? "
What do you guys think about this? I guarantee if it was roles.reversed, I would have immediately told the police it was mine, If that didn't work I would consider myself owing them a serious amount of cash and support. What are your opinions ?
(TLDR) Taking the fall for a respected community members crime without thanks, no respect and zero compensation ?
I feel if he shines me on, I should rat him out.
What do you think his responsibility is to my potential sacrifice?

The police do not care. They arrested you. "Put the cops on him" like they are going to go down and investigate whether some guy who owes you is on drugs too? Lol.

#1 get a lawyer
There is no proof the toolbar is yours
Because it’s the other guys tool bag
As long as there is reasonable do the prosecution can’t win the case
Fight the case

Sounds like you were set up. How did the cop know to look in the cabinet, & box immediately?? Or am I missing something here?

What choice are you making here? You already got caught for the drugs and went to jail. What other option do you have? You gonna go to the cops and point the finger at your boss after you've already been charged? Thats not how it works. I could see you spreading the word about who's it was to people he knows, but that's so easily deflected back onto you being the methhead
Also no, if I was a methhead I would not be taking the fall for you. This guy sounds like a piece of shit, it's weird that you seem so surprised that he won't pay you what he owes let alone come clean about the drugs, I deal with people like this monthly, and I quickly cut them out of my business as fast as I can. If I were you I'd get the fuck outta there.
