 in charge said asked if I had and a friend who could come down and bail me out with $20----- well by now it's 11:00 o'clock at night and I live way the other side of town and the closest one I know so help me is my friend ann  who  if have I mentioned her last name probably at least half of you would have heard of her at least once ---at any rate 11:00 o'clock at night she answers the phone “what do you want ?”she wasn't thrilled ---I said I need 6 bucks..  what the heck do you need 6 bucks for 11:00 o'clock at night and I just simply said” bail.”  . so she dug around and decided she could find $6 and they gave me my policeman to drive over to her place and get it and she handed me $6 in coins which I added to my $14.00 and had the required $20 to get out of jail.. after which they gave me the information about being in court the next morning at 9:00

 

I was there promptly--- turns out the animal control officer had given me some fine for loose dog off off leash well he lives way the other side of town and I wanted to know where he saw my dog off leash and he didn't know because just heard that my dog was off leash wrote the fine anyway this is a problem on parent Lee animal control officers have right these checks and they aren't held to whatever but I was going to hold.  the case was against me was dismissed and I was allowed to go home and they kept my 20 bucks which I always wondered if that was legal because they had not put this what the hckl is it the piece of paper that said I was supposed to be in court they hadn't put that in my hand so I didn't know about it then when I get in there I find that I'm assessed a big fine for something that is not correct either because they hadn't actually seen my dog loose they just heard it was loose go figured that's probably about right not any rate that provides me with a bona fide record and therefore I can no longer get a top secret security clearance that I would need to do the things I was doing before I got arrested..

 

actually now that I've reminded Ann ---who reads this..... I don't think I ever paid the six bucks back to her----I'll work on that ----the only other addition is I did wrote  a letter to the chief of police afterwards and comment on how well the policemen were behave d. very accurately and correctly-------- I don't tell him. about the southern  comfort.  outside his door but the police were very nice very accurate gave me clear instructions on what I was to do and because my mother had said whatever they tell you to do    you do.      and I think that is the concept should be addressed in a child's education...  if  the police tell you to do something ---- you do it -----and then you argue about it later,

 

so there you have.  my police record....

 

the bad part??????   It does cross my mind—wait til facebook gets hold of that.. well if that starts making the rounds... I hope you all will come to my defense.  – to further....  a year or so later I gave up southern comfort.. and life was a bit quieter..
