Mitchell Katz lawsuit against former private investigator's in California begins,

San Fransico, CA - A man claims his estranged wife hired a private investigator to ply him with drinks and get him arrested and charged with a "dirty DUI," and that a sheriff's deputy was in on it.

     Mitchell Katz claims Alicia Spenger wanted to make him look bad in divorce custody proceedings.He claims that Spenger hired private eye Christopher Butler, who suggested they set Katz up for a "dirty DUI," during which co-conspirators would get Katz drunk and Butler would tip off the law when Katz tried to drive away.

Katz says that a few months later "John," aka Marino, emailed him and apologized for his role in the set-up. He claims the email stated: "'The first thing I want to do is apologize to you for my part of the set up. As you can see, I never wanted to be involved in Butler's shady activities and that is why I put an end to them and also let the DOJ [United States Department of Justice] know what was done to you and others. I hope you can forgive me and understand that ultimately I was the good guy in this.' ..." (Brackets in complaint.)
