In Florida, you don’t need a judge to put a lien on a house. You trot down to the courthouse, fill out the paperwork and it gets filed. I helped my brother do it when he wasn’t paid for a remodel job. A garnishment can be done by a private attorney or an agency, again in Florida. Processed those for years when I worked in payroll. Too bad these people have little recourse in their state, other than the court of public opinion. I’d be filing something in the court. After years of working in HR & Payroll, I can’t tell you how many employees got canned on the spot, when their annual background check came thru. My boss used to say “There’s no cure for stupid.”Only a court can put a lien on his house. Only a judge can garnish his wages. The suspect in this case is in a pretty good position since these false calls for service and whatever else are misdemeanors and the state of Utah is not going to go to the cost and trouble of extraditing him from Hawaii. If Hawaiian law allows it the homeowners best bet would be to ask the Hawaiian police to handle the case seeing that the calls came from Hawaii. On the other hand the homeowner should be prepared to spend months or years in Hawaii testifying at trials.
