Legal Advice - Final paycheck?

Hi all,
I need some help on my situation.
The story went like this. I quit my job on 10/20/2008 and had given a verbal notice to my employer on 10/10/2008. On my last day, the employer told me to write a resignation letter. However, the employer did not pay my final paycheck on that day. After a few weeks, I still did not receive it so I filed a claim. He finally paid me on 11/10/2008. Now we both received the letter to go to the conference. I'm afraid that he will lie and tell the officer that I did not give him the proper notice even though all of my friends in the company that I gave him the notice way before my last day. What should I say when I go to the conference because I don't really want to mention my friends and bring trouble to them?

Another story is that when I worked for the employer, he bought some work-related stuffs (total to around $20 bucks) and gave it to me. He did not mention I would have to return them and he did not say anything on my last day either. Now from what I know, he is pissed for having to go to the conference and filed a police report stating that I stole the stuffs . I am in total shock. Can you please give me some advice to deal with this situation?

Thank you

For the stuff: giving it to the cops to return to him should end that bit. Just explain to them that you were given and used the items while employed and and that you were not informed that you had to return the items. Since you obviously did not sign a contract listing the item and cost, he could not deduct them from your final pay and is obviously why he filed the police report.

For the conference: Since you feel the employer may take things personally, get written statements, with contact information for verification, from your friends. Be sure to have them state that they choose not to have their identities revealed to the employer to avoid conflicts.
