Subject: Arrest Record

Written By: La Roche on 05/14/07 at 7:58 pm

In the Paris Hilton thread, I was amazed to see how many of us members have been to jail, so I thought I'd start a thread.  ;D

Who here has been to jail.. and do you mind telling us why?


I've been to jail twice. Both times I wasn't charged with anything it was basically just a cooling off deal.

The first time was in Birmingham where me and some friends had gone out on a bit of a bar crawl exercise. Several of us were put in the cells overnight to sober up and calm down.

The second time was in Greece after a football match. There was some.. fighting and such like and a lot of us were arrested and taken to prison. Spent a couple of nights and was then released without any sort of charge.

So who else has been arrested?

I've never been to jail, but in my teens, I was arrested a few times for shoplifting :-[

It's quite an experience being in handcuffs.  They burn like hell on your wrists

Three times:

Once for having a controlled substance.....(not mine, I was just driving; and I was released with no charges.) 3 hrs. in a holding cell

Once for terroristic threats....Pictured, finger printed, 6hrs. in a holding cell, thrown out of court

Once for making a teenager pee his pants.....1 hr. in a holding cell, had to apologize, charges dropped.
        this one, the kid was throwing rocks at mine and other cars so I chased him, scared him enough to make
        him pee his pants. His parents filed charges.

P.S. ....Everytime I see the picture at the bottom of your signature box I have to watch the video, I must have
          seen it a 1,000 times. ;D

I'll answer in order:

1...Yes you did, I can only imagine how great it must have been

2...Terroristic threats, not terrorist  ;D  I told a guy that was bothering my daughter that if he bothered her again
      I'd kill him. He pressed charges, he said he feared for his life.

The closest thing to a crime I've ever commited is jaywalking. I was stopped by a cop for pushing a shopping cart down the street (my townhouse complex is right across the street from a shopping center, and I didn't wanna carry it all home) a few years ago when I was about 15, but he was a nice guy and just warned me. Does that count? ;D

There were many times I should have been arrested but I was never caught.  Well...once when I was 15 my friends and I all told our parents that we were staying at each other's houses.  Instead we walked around the city half the night and ended up getting picked up by some cop.  He drove us home and knocked at our doors until our parents came out...not good. ::)  Anyway...I never got in trouble for that.  My parents knew I learned my lesson.

this thread is for arrests only, right? we don't have to include crimes that didn't end in arrest or jail.

--the year was 1977, it was on a Sunday night that I was pulled over by Officer Parker & arrested for DUI. I could not believe he was actually arresting me, he knew me, & my dad worked with him & the cops had always let me go but not this time.  I failed the sobriety test, was taken to city jail for the night, then on Monday was driven by police to the courthouse to appear before the same judge I'd appeared before for something else & he advised me I had unpaid fines for driving with no license, no registration, & the DUI fine & since I was not working at the time, how was I going to pay them off? He said I could do 9 days & all the fines would be considered paid. I accepted his gracious offer & was taken from there to the County jail. I suffered the 9 days, & the suffering was from the heat in a facility that did not have air conditioning at the time. It was miserable hot but they had good burritos. I read the book Alive and the Bible while in there.

--I was picked up at least 5-6 times by the local city police but the only jail time was above. my offenses include school truancy, vandalism, open containers, growing  marijuana plants (they confiscated them), open containers, illegal use of  controlled substances, more open containers (we drank a lot of beer in those days) and these all became trips to the police station and then they'd let us go or they'd pull us over and take our booze and weed, but they always let us go, except that one time. We got them back & took their weed once, when the cops took me & my 2 friends in for "questioning" regarding some partying we were doing, they left us alone in a room with a big plant they must have confiscated from someone. I wonder what they thought when they came back to that room after they'd let us go & saw the cannabis sativa plant stripped of all it's leaves  ;D  well, it wasn't long after my jailtime that my life changed from bad mike to the nice guy you all know now as Badfinger-fan (the good mike)  8)

I'm sure. I know I have a FBI file but I don't know what it is in-but I can guess. Carlos once wrote for his FBI only to find out he didn't have one. He wrote an irrate letter to the FBI, "What is wrong with you people? Don't you know I'm a left-wing radical?" He later wrote for his file and that letter was in it. lol.

I was arrested twice and PC'd once.These all happened years ago when I was in my early 20s and was going through a bad time in my life. The PC was for breeching the peace. The first arrest was for assault and battery (I beat a guy up, but he started it.) They couldn't determine who was the actual person at fault and it was thrown out. The second arrest was also for breeching the peace, but that was also thrown out. I've had no more run-ins with the law in the past 10 years I'm happy to say!

;D I'm quite proud of the fact I beat up a guy too. He deserved it. He was a supposed 'friend' and I was at his house. Some stupid argument ensued and he asked me to leave. I had lost my house keys in his living room some place and couldn't find them so I told him I'd leave as soon as I found them. He physically put his hands on my neck and tried to throw me out the door. So out of instinct I punched him. Hard. He fell against the wall and the neighbors called the police thinking he had been the one who decked ME! The idiot didn't bother to show up in court and it was thrown out.

I am now happy to say I have a somewhat peaceful, low-key life!

as for jail stories, it's not like What happens in jail, stays in jail. It was not a glamorous experience, but i was recognized as soon i was led to my cell. I heard my name called and looked up to see one of my best friend's older brother there. and then lo & behold, another of my best friends was in my very cell for a couple days. there were 4 guys counting me and one day these guys are doing something and some dude says, we need you to be on point  :o , and I'm like wtf does that mean, b ut it meant to watch for guard so they could strip paint off wall to make ink for tattoo? that was a too hardcore for me  ;D  I vowed never to return and i haven't except my last trip about 10 years ago to a Boys Ranch like a juvenile hall where i actually got to speak to a group of young troubled guys on alcohol/drug abuse so I've given back some community service

Damn, you got the harsh treatment from Mom huh!

When I got arrested in Birmingham, the next day when I got home my Ma was doing her nut saying how worried she'd been, she said "I was thinking I'd have to call the police, I had no idea where you were!" and I just said "They knew where I was."  ;D

When I got arrested in Greece she didn't know until I got back, but she was exceptionally pissed off, not at me, but at the Greek police. Of course, in my Ma's eyes, I can do no wrong.. whereas I know I deserved punishment in both instances.

I was staying the night at this guy's house. There's a local curfew in our town at 11 PM, after which no one under 18 can be outside or driving for any reason, except in situations where they are either driving or walking home from work, and you need solid proof that's where you're coming from (your uniform, etc.).

He was stoned and hungry, and he offered to buy me a quart of chocolate milk and Hot Pockets if I went.. I couldn't refuse, there was no other food in his house. ;D

I assume you heard from Sara about what I did that night, dumped Mike on her, announced I was going to get a drink, got halfway to the kitchen and dropped straight on to the bed, totally comatose.

Oh.. by the way, you know her parents neighbor.. whatever his name was, tell him I said Hi, I really liked that guy! I'll have to make sure I go for a drink with him over the summer.

Kafka did this thing called 'The trial' where this guy is tried for a crime, but he dosen't know what it is.. and stuff (you'd have to be stoned to appreciate it) and anyway, the whole concept of a curfew is like that, being punished for a non-existent crime.

Kafka did this thing called 'The trial' where this guy is tried for a crime, but he dosen't know what it is.. and stuff (you'd have to be stoned to appreciate it) and anyway, the whole concept of a curfew is like that, being punished for a non-existent crime.


Ahhhh, okay. I get it now.

Yeah, I don't get the curfew.. admittedly, any average teenager being outside that late at night probably isn't doing something very becoming, but punishing the whole group pre-emptively just in case someone does something naughty.. it's ridiculous.

I wouldn't have stood for it. Seriously, I'd have made it a point to get arrested and taken home every single night.

i got nailed for expired tags a couple years ago but the guy let me off with a warning because he said i looked like andre agassi.  ;D i think he wanted to do me or something.


I've had this same thing happen.  Minus the Andre Agassi comment.

Not sure if there is a curfew but in my town if you are in a group of more than about 4 people you can be asked to leave the town centre or at least to split into smaller groups.  This is at any time of the day.


I've never been arrested. Possibly should have been for a few things  :-\\

I've been stopped in my car a couple of times.  Once was when one of the lights was defective, and I played the innocent girly.  "I'll get my dad to look at that for me".  I never had to take in my papers or anything which pissed my brother off big time.  He was always having to take his documents down to the police station the next day.  he didn't ever do anything wrong just drove a big car and looked young.  Another time I was pulled over when driving a friend back from the pub.  The policeman made some comment about how young I looked and then let me go.  I've also had an automatic fine and points on my licence for speeding.  I bet they got a lot of people that day because I was pulling from a side road and sped up so that I didn't interrupt the flow of traffic.

Once, in the 1970, the government would do sweeps.  I was sitting on a bench in the Boston Public Garden with then boyfriend, he had bought flowers trying to win my heart, so romantic(17 at the time) and the police(plainclothes and in uniform) pulled every one in that area together and arrested everyone for "suspicion".  Seems there were some drug dealers in the area and they weren't sure who was who so they arrested everyone.  Had to call my parents, it was awful, booked, arraigned, charges dropped.  Forty people had a traumatic experience and in the end the papers reported 2 people had been caught with minimal amount of marijuana.

Two was for hitchhiking, everyone was doing it in those days but they made it a crime on State highways.  Arressted sent home, not even a fine.  Hence my distrust of police.

Arrested for sitting on a park bench. Hmmmm. Well, we all know that you look like a dangerous and unsavory character.  ::)

I remember we picked up a couple of hitchhikers off the Mass Pike around 1971? 1972? So, I guess that law wasn't really enforced. There were in uniform and it was raining so we thought that we would give them a break. Of course my mother was driving and there were 4 of us kids in the car so I'm not too sure how much of break we gave them.  :D

It's the same here, unless you're in a yard or with relatives.....it's rather problematic when we have our summer "celebration" thing because they don't even lift it for that and it goes on until about 1 am ::)

The law was imposed irregularly,  the assumption was that a female hitchhiker alone was a prostitute.

I've gotten tickets for moving violations, but nothing arrest-worthy (at least, nothing I've been caught doing 8))

I was arrested for making terroristic threats.  Didn't do jail time.  They sent me to Hershey Medical Center (Psych ward)  At one point in time they had me write "I will not threaten to impale people "a thousand times.  :P

Omg. Kathie the impaler.

why do I get this feeling whoever you were threatening with impalement probably deserved it?

Idol threads are a waste of time and energy.  Yes, the person deserved it.
