The man had been sentenced to one year in prison by Dortmund District Court. After making several phone calls, the man's boss's mother appeared and paid the fine, allowing him to leave the station. However, the man was later taken to a detention facility.

The woman had an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Essen for benefit fraud. She was sentenced to four months in prison by Essen District Court in 2019.
