From what you have writte with respect to your question is a criminal investigation. If true, then you need to contact local law enforcement about what transpired and provide copies of all documentation with respect to the matter that you have written about.
Law enforcement will then prpeare a report and submit it to the district attorney's office who will review it and decide whether or not it wishes to file a criminal complaint. Note, the district attorney's office is not obligated to file a criminal matter with respect to every grievance that comes across its desk.
Most likely law enforcement will deem your matter a civil dispute and suggest that you consult with an attorney that practices personal injury law.
