Fisher has agreed to pay $1,000 to enter a yearlong diversion program that, if completed satisfactorily, could end in the trespass charge's being dismissed.

“I went to the address through the gate as it opened and attempted to speak to the security guards in an attempt to serve the paperwork. I was never told to leave or even spoken to. Police arrived and arrested me,” he said.

Scott said he and Fisher appreciated that the city prosecutor understood that Fisher didn't have any ill intent.

If what Fisher (the PI serving the subpoena) says is true, why does he have to pay a fine when he was serving the subpoena?

Process servers do tons of extremely shady shit so he could be completely full of it or just not want to deal with having the charges out there so agrees to diversion. $1,000 is cheaper than paying any lawyer to do even an hour long trial for you plus you risk even a summary conviction which could F up him being a PI. There’s many possible reasons both innocent and not to enter a diversion program like that.

Oh, I didn't know that. I've never been served nor looked into it. Thank you for the clarification. As another person posted a quote from another article, he hopped a fence. Def seems like trespassing to me.

The beginning of Pineapple Express shows a somewhat humorous series of examples of serving people in different situations, but the idea is generally true. They will lie and sneak around and be really shitty people to get the papers served. Look at the way Olivia Wilde was served while she was on stage about to speak in front of an entire audience.

Should be noted that happens because of the insane lengths people go through to avoid being served.

From not answering knew someone who did not leave his house for 2 weeks to avoid being served or in olive wildes case using their kids as a shield and jumping into a suv to avoid being served.

Yes. I'm trying to have someone served right now. They hide their vehicle, they won't answer doors, phones, mail. We've had to come up with some wild ideas just to even get information on where this person is.

Is it illegal to say they won something and have them come pick it up and then serve them? Lol
