Have you ever been arrested?

Care to come clean, share your experience?

I've been arrested 3 times as I recall.

Once in Myrtle Beach for being drunk in public. Dismissed.

Once during my first divorce. I moved out without anything. I guess a few months passed, she told me door was unlocked, I could go get my clothes and things we agreed on. I drove an hour there, door was locked, called her, she changed her mind. I knew she was gone that weekend, so got a truck and friend, went back and got through a window and moved all my crap out. Two days later at work, cops came and arrested me. Damn house was still in my name........errrrr

Then got arrested for a bar fight, lawyer got charges dismissed.

A few years ago, I went to visit Wern and he threw my entire family in jail.
Not sure if charges were dropped.

Can't say I have but I've been involved in a fair few.

Schroeder · 08-23-13, 07:33 AM

Nope. Never had any issues with the police.

Garion · 08-23-13, 07:39 AM

Nope, but like Jim I too have been involved in a fair few.

Cheers

Never had a speeding ticket, or a parking ticket. However
Six times.
1 murder, 3 assault, 1 suspicion of possession, 1 drunk in charge...of a pushbike.
Of them all just 2 of the ABH ended with actual charges being laid, cleared both times.

Must've been '97? Was in a pub for Sunday lunch with my then-girlfriend and her family when in came her mum's cousin and her family - they didn't get along (I've no idea why?). Girlfriend's mum went to the loo, as did her cousin and two minutes later there is screaming and shouting with girly punches and hair flying all over. We all rushed through, they all rushed through, fracas ensued, police called, arrested.

All charges later dropped as someone saw good sense that it was six of one and half a dozen of the other.

I'm not a violent person but I did, however, drop their keys to their brand new Toyota in a toilet cistern after they fell on the floor.

*I need to get Tribesman drunk and hear these stories!

I have come close to being arrested through no fault of my own. My emotionally unstable, substance abusing ex-girlfriend was lying to the police, and I nearly paid the price for it.

Aside from that, I have never seen the inside of a police car, police station, or court room. I have had some minor "offenses" if you want to call them that.

- I had one speeding ticket in Mississippi in 1993,

- one parking ticket in California sometime in 2001 through 2003, i dont remember exactly.

- The worst that has ever happened was around the same time period. I had my car impounded once for parking it on a public street with expired tags. That was a joy to fix. Having to get a ride from a roommate, wait in a 3 hour line at the DMV to get a moving permit, and pay another 300 dollars to get my car out of impound.

As laws, rules, and regulations go, I've always lived my life on the straight and narrow. For me, risky behavior and "lawbreaking" is driving 85 in a 75 MPH zone. I usually do just 5 over.

Never been arrested.

Got a ticket, tho.
I was trying to stick an advert of my English private lessons on a post (which is illegal if you don't have a permission) and two municipal guards caught me red handed.
They asked me how many I had already sticked so I said that it was the first one (the 5th actually

).
Got a 12 Euro fine, paid it the same day and....got my money back three weeks later because the bank account number on the form was out-of-date.

Never paid it again as I had the confirmation of paying it for the first time and it was my mom who received the reimbursement. (her signature = not my problem).

Retarded municipal guards are retarded.

Bunch of law breaking gits 'round hyere.

Especially that Armistead gang.

Never been arrested but, got rousted for a bag of weed once. Cops lets us all go. They kept the weed and a fresh pack of papers though.

They seemed more insulted that we didn't have any beer.

I was a Dr. Pepper totaler. They weren't interested in that.

I have never been arrested.

I came close once when I dropped a Lowenbrau from the forth floor balcony.That one was a complete accident I was talking to a friend and it was just after we got off duty fist beer I had had all week and only a few sips.Well the beer just slipped out of my hand and feel down and hit the hood of a VW Passat parked in the front row bounced and then hit the wall/railing on the first floor.No sooner had I heard the bottle smash I hear this female SP that had been patrolling the dorms yell,"Some @*$5&! just threw a bottle at me". At the same time I was a bit impressed by this bottles random ballistics and structural integrity.

I thought well that is just grand now it went from dropping a beer to assault.So we took the rest of the Lowenbrau and hid it in back of a wall locker and just hung out military police are very good at catching people trying to escape on foot so it is better to stay put it looks less suspicious.The cops came up with a working dog which made me very worried at first but I knew dog handler and he never said anything even though the dog was doing the sit alert on me.They had better fish to fry anyway I smelled pot smoke in the air around the time I dropped the beer bottle and I saw a few people get carted away after they talked to me.More than likely the tokers.

I felt bad about denting the VW but not bad enough to also risk taking an assault change and telling the truth and risked hoping that a courts marshal board believe my claim.Besides you buy car insurance for a reason.

Speeding tickets I earned a few of those when I was younger.

No, I've never been arrested. In fact, I've never even had as much as a speeding ticket.

This thread should be interesting. My intuition going in is that, if anything, we'll see a few more brawl-related legal entanglements given the number of hot heads on the boards.

AVGWarhawk · 08-23-13, 08:12 AM

Yep, once. Tipped to many and drove a car. DUI. Judgment, BPJ. Speeding tickets? Yep, many. Was ordered to a driving refresher class after obtaining 6 points.

You guys are still in there? Lemme run and get the keys. It was just a joke, I swear!

Anyway, I've never been arrested. My only traffic citation came within 2 weeks of me first getting my driver's license but that stopped showing up on my record over 25 years ago. I have many former friends whom I grew up with in my neighborhood or went to school with, who have done hard time for murder, armed robbery, drug dealing, etc.. I also have former friends and family members who have died as victims of crime in Paterson.
