  • Drunk Tries To Weasel Way Out Of Arrest

    Party girl of about 31 or thereabouts walks into my store at 1:30 AM, wanting a pack of cigarettes. Pathetic girl wobbles as she stands and half of her speech is so badly slurred that I wonder how the hell she made it to my station in one piece.

    So I decided to something a tad bit different, while she isn't looking, I quietly picked up the phone and dialed 911 and left the headset laying on the counter.

    So I get her talking and used my deafness (really I am deaf) to get her to talk louder than normal, hoping the dispatch listening gets the idea what I am dealing with.

    So I stall her a bit by talking with her, asking how the party was and some small topic conversation, while praying in the back of my mind that a cop gets his or her butt down here before she attempts to leave.

    3 minutes later a cop comes walking in, the drunk gal hears a ding from the door and she turns around towards the sound. Didn't even take a second for her to turn as white as a sheet seeing this cop coming her way.

    While she wasn't looking, I nudged my head towards her while I'm looking at him. So he eyeballs the lady and starts talking to her.

    With her back turned, I quietly then hung up the phone.

    Reason for that is because, with her drunken state, I was afraid if I called the cops in front or near within earshot, she may panic and leave the store.

    On top of that, I wasn't sure if she walked or drove as the store does have a parking space at the side of the building, so I won't necessarily see a car pull up the side. So I wasn't gonna take any chances of her bolting and may harm herself or someone else in the process.

    So with a sigh of relief that a cop is there and he's in the process of checking her out.

    I come to find out while listening to her story to the cop, she had gotten a ride with someone from a bar she just met and asked to be driven home.

    On the way to her destination, he pulls a "by the way" trick (oldest one in the world), he asked that when they arrive at her place, he wanted to have sex. So when she said no, he suddenly stopped his car and told her to get out.

    And so you know the rest.

    So, the cops then have her 2 options, call someone to pick her up and take her home or end up going to jail.

    So she grabs her cell and called 2 people. Both said no and I don't blame them. Who likes getting called at 2 AM listening to her beg and plead because she didn't want to go to jail.

    The girl then admittedly said she can't find a ride. He told her she's going to jail.

    She screams and covers her eyes, "Oh, no!" and she then pulls a fake fainting spell and comes crashing down on a stand containing bags of nuts. Flattens the whole damn thing.

    I swore she broke it, but (whew) it wasn't. The frames slid away from each other instead of hanging on together, most of it supported by an eraser head sized pegs. So luckily for me I was able to reassemble the whole thing and put my back in a wringer picking up all these bags of nuts off the floor.

    Anyway, so there she lays on top of the flattened shelf with the cop standing directly her fake "motionless" body. He starts rolling his eyes and gritted his teeth with obvious refrain of a few choiced words. He then yells for her to get her ass up off the floor and so she did.

    He whirls her around and gets into the handcuffing position. I told the cop if I can't reassemble the shelf, I'm gonna need a damage report. He said he'll send someone in for that while he's taking her ass over to jail. (and not a happy camper at that.)

    So about an hour after I finished reassembling the shelf with the bags of nuts back in place, the cop comes in with a damage report sheet. There are some cracks on the shelf, so to be on the safe side, to get the damage report in case the owner of that shelf wants to replace it and file the damage to his insurance company.

    What a dozy of a night

        I wouldn't want to go to Jail if I was drunk and simply had been f*cked over by a guy who was meant to be giving me a ride home... these things happen.

        However I also wouldn't pull a fainting fit. I would ask- nicely- if the police officer could drop me back at my apartment instead.

          I'd call cab. Sucks. Nice if friends will look after you. But hey, that's why you never go out without your credit card and enough space on it for a cab ride home ... just in case.

          But then, I'm responsible like that and wouldn't have gotten into this position in the first place anyway.

            Yeah, I gotta admit, I don't get that... is there a law in your parts against being drunk in public, or something? If she's 31 or so, then she's definitely old enough to drink, and from the OP, she didn't do anything wrong - wasn't driving, wasn't loud or aggressive. So, why would the cop arrest her?

            And, on a sidenote: some friends to have, that they would rather let you go to jail than move their asses and come pick you up. I certainly wouldn't want anything to do with those people anymore.

            But that fainting thing was a dumb move, alright.
            You gotta polish a memory like a stone. Chip off the parts that remind you it was just a game. Work it until it's indistinguishable from any other memory.

              I keep wondering the same thing. Simply being drunk in public isn't enough of a reason to get arrested UNLESS she had done a crime.

                Are we perhaps missing part of the story?

                  I always thought public intoxication was illegal in most jurisdictions, in the U.S, anyway; a way to keep drunk folks from being a danger to themselves and others and/or disturbing the peace. Not something you are going to do time for, just get dried out in the drunk tank, pay a small fine, and be on your way...

                    Actually, in a number of places, public intoxication *is* illegal. It's a misdemeanor, mind, but still illegal. (Remember: being drunk in a pub is intoxication on private property.)

                    I don't understand why she didn't use the Home Safe Taxi thing that most places do now; the bar might've called her one for free!

                      I understand that the guy was a jerk for wanting a "ride for a ride" (sorry, couldn't help it), but why the hell did she get in the car with someone she just met in the first place?

                        Do we believe her story? I mean, if she had been kicked out of this stranger's car, and has no other way to get home, wouldn't she be calling for a ride, or calling a taxi, or (being a SC) whining and begging the clerk to take her home, or doing SOMEthing about it? Instead of calmly buying cigs and talking about the party?

                        She was driving. She just didn't want to admit this to the police.

                          I'm with sparky. The cop probably had his BS meter on.

                            Even if her story is legit, the original poster probably called the cops out of her own safety more than anything.

                            Being hauled to jail is better than stumbling home drunk at night, where you could mugged, raped, hit by a car, or anything else you can think of.
