Chesterfield Circuit Court
Alan S. Petersen v. CVI Investigations & Security a/k/a Central Virginia Investigations Inc.; and Chris D. Bell
Plaintiff says he suffered grievous damages as a result of Bell making false and malicious statements, including one to police and mental health authorities that plaintiff had expressed an intention to kill his wife. Plaintiff also alleges Bell engaged in misrepresentations upon which plaintiff relied as inducement to engage CVI to perform private investigative services, and that CVI failed to perform the services and violated its agreement by disclosing confidential information. Plaintiff says he met Bell in 2008 when Bell moved to Chesterfield to serve as pastor of plaintiff’s church, and that Bell used his position as pastor to promote his private investigator business, for which he claimed such credentials as undergraduate and graduate degrees in law enforcement, serving on a SWAT team, being an Army Ranger and holding a master of divinity degree, all of which were false. Plaintiff says he hired Bell to investigate his wife, whom he suspected of having an affair, and that Bell used his statements to discredit and malign him. As a result, plaintiff says he was arrested and detained in a psychiatric ward before mental health proceedings were dismissed. Plaintiff seeks judgment of $3,011,400.
