Mechanic arrested for not giving up vehicle to angry customer

A customer came to pick up his Land Rover recently and refused to pay the agreed upon price of £1127 for the service work that Darren had done. At first the owner offered £950, then £850, and when Darren still refused to release his vehicle, the Rover owner called the local constabulary. Shockingly, the policeman who arrived on the scene actually told Darren he had to lower the price, and when he refused to accept £550 for the job, which didn't even cover the parts, he was arrested and thrown in jail. He spent three hours behind bars and promptly filed a complaint against the Northumbria Police, who performed a full investigation and found themselves free of any wrongdoing. Convenient, eh?

goddamn those articles are stupid. Theyre as bad as watching the news. Is it too much to ask for a little explanation of the reasoning behind ****? You'd think in that whole paragraph they'd have SOME detail, but no, nothing.
summary: mechanic did work for a price that was previously agreed upon, customer dint want to pay afterwards, cops tried to make him lower price, then arrested him and released him. and we have no clue why any of it happened the way it did and we arent putting out the least effort to find out why.
