Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Yeah, me. That's right. Straight A's, Christian school going, perfect little Matt Young was arrested and incarcerated for the first time in his life tonight. I got my ass cuffed and tossed in county. The charges and story are as follows since I can lazily and sleepily copy and paste from my AIM convo with LJ: "Illegal consumption of alcohol, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of cannabis- all misdemeanors. It sucks... I never got caught before, and I shouldn't have this time. I wasn't driving, but the cops followed us and pulled us over and never said what for. They saw the beer cans, then searched us and took my bowl. I had like 1 gram of weed on me and had drank 2 beers... basically nothing. But I should have seen it coming. My mom was all like, "don't get busted tonight!" before I left, and when Shaun bought the beer, it rang up to $6.66. It was a fucking omen." So this past 8 months, in addition to becoming suicidal, depressed, anorexic/bulemic, alcoholic, a nicotine addict, and just overall loser, I now have been arrested. I asked for a copy of my mug shot, but apparently they don't give those out. Would've made a great avatar though. I honestly wasn't too worried when it was going on... I'm still confident I can make a case for illegal search and seizure, and I wasn't doing anything morally wrong, so my conscience is guilt free. Still, looking at it from an objective perspective, you can just add this to the long list of reasons for me to cease to exist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Just remember as bad as life gets it can always get worse. There is no rock bottom. Shit, I was trying to make you feel better. Ooops. On a serious note, lighten the fuck up. You're young, have fun. And at least you're not some starving kid in Africa, you've got a home, food, and clothing on your back. Just don't have open beers in a car ever again, and you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were my kid, if I even had the suspicion that you were going to get busted for something, I'd keep your ass locked up in the house. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Wow, I'm so sorry you got busted for drink driving and possesion of an illegal drug. Curse those evil policemen. Sorry, what was the moral to all this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Well all parents aren't nazi's who have an obsession with controling everything. "Don't get busted tonight" is no different than "don't get in trouble tonight" or any other such parental warning when you go out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 I have to disagree with you there. Getting into trouble is one thing...getting busted is another. If a parent think they're child has a good chance of getting busted out there, then there's something wrong, no? Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 3, 2003 No I'm saying that a parent saying "Don't get busted" is just a different way of saying "Don't get into trouble". I believe you're reading too much into that statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 3, 2003 I remember getting stoned on my 17th birthday after school and coming home completely toasted. My mom punched me in the stomach as hard as she could...I think it had something to do with being arrested for being with my friend who had weed on him only 12 days before.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 It's relatively easy not to get caught. Just don't draw attention to yourself. This does not mean driving around smoking weed right in front of cops and leaving open beer cans all over the car btw. At 22 I have been arrested zero times and cited once, and that's cause a house party was busted which is hardly my fault. It was because other people didn't know how to get fucked up and not shout or go out front and piss in the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 Well, you all make good points. However, Dames, my mom can't keep me in the house, seeing as I am 19. And the cops had NO REASON whatsoever to pull us over, as we weren't even smoking at the time and it would have been impossible to notice the beer in the cupholders. The driver made no violations which would have resulted in being pulled over, which means this shouldn't have ever happened. The cops literally followed us for 4 blocks as we headed to this guy's house. I've had bad experiences with Chatham cops prior to this... They pull people over for no reason at all.

Yeah well it did and frankly, in my opinion you were just asking for it too. Having open beer cans(Underage drinking...smooth) is a pretty stupid move considering the risk of getting pulled over anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haVoc 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 I'll never forget when my old probation officer walked into mine and my old roommates appartment and saw the bong sitting in the window. That was fun talking my way out of. Also, how does or why would a guy become anorexic/bulemic? I can understand if you drink too much at times so you make yourself throw up so the room stops spinning. But, you also made a habit of throwing up your food?

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2003 I'm not going to argue with you guys about your opinions, because in one way or another they are all warranted. I just wanted to share my story. As far as the bulemia goes... I don't know if that's the ebst term since I don't make myself throw up. I just was (and still am to an extent) going through a hellacious time in my life, and I get so upset I can't hold down food. As a result, I just stopped eating more than once every few days. I went from 168 pounds to 132, stayed at 135 for a while, and now I weigh 127. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did it say on his reason for traffic stop, reckless driving, where did the cop get him? White Castle drive thru Sorry about that Matt, I've done my share of dumb things, but remember "it shouldn't have happened" should be referring to open containers in the car.
