Only slightly the same thing nowhere near the same but.. A story I feel the need to share. One time I got arrested over a petty little warrant. Over a broken windshield. Guilty. I was an idiot letting it go to warrant. My only defense is I was a fucking stupid ass 22-year-old. This happened at like 1:00 in the morning like 20 years ago. We didn't have a working phone so I couldn't call home but as soon as I was getting arrested my friend that was with me said he would go talk to my mom and get my bail taken care of.
Less than 45 minutes after I got there the bus that was supposed to pick people up and take them to county showed up and they said... Well nobody's got you in this amount of time we're sending you to county.
And then for 3 days... They fucking lost me. My mom made my bail like 20 minutes after they bussed me away. But I was in there for 3 days because somehow in the system they couldn't figure out where the fuck I had been sent.
When they finally found me they didn't even take me all the way home even though it was only less than a mile from the original police station. They insisted that was the farthest they would go. One more fucking mile on a main road.
