As described that is such abuse of authority that it seems like jail time is a better answer than a monetary punishment that will be paid by the taxpayers. She tried to do things legally, contacted the appropriate government agency for help, and is set up for an arrest without having committed a crime. That's not even entrapment, since entrapment implies one was tricked in to committing an actual crime. (again, as described) If true, I not only hope she wins her court case, but whoever made the decision to go after her gets fired.
