So, Uh, I Got Arrested...

Recommended Posts

The following is a story of several things that I'm not proud of... as well as a few things I am proud of. Hating will be welcomed. This is a story of the roller coaster ride of the past couple of months, and how that roller coaster finally went off hte tracks...

 

It really started on December 23rd, when I got truly liquored up for the first time and fucked a fat chick. But we'll skip over that.

 

Skipping ahead to New Year's Eve. I went to a party that night, but I had somewhere else that I needed to be by midnight. I was already fairly well gone, but four of us needed to leave and we needed to take two cars. One of us, Tom, managed to keep from drinking the whole night, and he took his car. Anthony, who was already schmickered, rode with Tom in the hopes that he would be a sobering influence.

 

This left me and the fourth, Billy. This was an interesting conundrum. On the one hand, I didn't have a driver's license (in fact, at this point I wasn't even sixteen). On the other hand, one look at Billy would tell you that I was going to be the safer driver, age be damned. Finally, the driver's side headlight on Billy's car was out, and seeing as that was what we were taking, if we got pulled over for it it wasn't going to be a good time.

 

Billy looked at me. "Dude, can you drive?"

 

"I suppose."

 

We got into the car and began driving off. It's normally a ten minute drive to where we were going, but on this night it took thirty -- I was trying to make sure that I wasn't going to do something retarded to get pulled over. So we're chugging along nicely, Billy yelling to me drunkenly to "go fucking faster!", but it's looking fine as we make the last turn...

 

And look, there's blues in my rearview. Fuck.

 

I look at Billy. Billy looks at me. My mind is racing, trying to think of what I'm going to say to this cop, but Billy is already taking action. "Dude, we've gotta switch spots."

 

This is a '99 Pontiac Grand Am, and there's no way in hell we're both going to be able to move the necessary five feet in the thirty seconds that it'll take for the officer to get to our car. So Billy, thinking quickly, opens his door and gets out of the car.

 

The officer, caught off-guard, whirls around and shines his flashlight in Billy's face. Upon realizing that Billy's not, like, packing heat or anything, the cop says, "Uh, you can sit down, son."

 

Billy gets back in his car, looking like an ass. The officer walks up to my window, taps on it. I go to put the window down... and nothing happens. The fuck? "Dude, the window doesn't work, you'll have to open the door."

 

Fucking great. I open the door, and the cop looks at me odd. "Sorry, sir, the window doesn't work."

 

"Okay... license and registration?"

 

"I kinda left my license at home, this isn't my car, I'll get you the registration though..."

 

Billy gets the registration out of his glove compartment, I give it to the officer, and he starts taking my information.

 

"Name?"

 

"Joseph Peters... H. Peters."

 

"Birthday?"

 

My birthday is January 13th, 1989. "January 13th, nineteen eighty ni... eight."

 

The cop doesn't seem to notice my stutter and takes down the rest of my info, before going back to his car to punch it all in. I breathe for the first time in this whole incident, Billy and me are getting kinda cocky as the cop comes back...

 

"Joseph, are you from New Hampshire? Your name didn't..."

 

"No, I'm from Vermont, I'm just in town for New Year's..."

 

"Oh, okay, that's fine... I'm just going to give you a warning, your front headlight was out, other than that you guys are fine."

That incident is called the Act of God, and made me an instant celebrity within the school. For a few weeks I was riding high.

 

Fast forward to Martin Luther King weekend. That Thursday was my birthday, and Friday night I celebrated by partying. Sunday night, I went over to Anthony's house to watch the Pats game, when Evan walked up to me. "Dude, what are you doing tonight?"

 

"I don't know."

 

"You want to come up to Stark with me and some guys?"

 

"...sure. Where's Stark?"

 

"Oh, like an hour from here."

 

Awesome. Pats win, and me, Chris, Andrew and Tireef piled into Andrew's mom's car to make the drive to Stark. Andrew, driving his mother's car, had to be back in town by 5:45 the next morning. Tireef, ever the intellectual, offered to drive his car so we wouldn't have to worry about it, but Andrew and Chris insisted that it was no big deal. I told Tireef that I was planning on staying at Stark that night, and he said that was cool.

 

We went to Stark and I got completely smashed, had sex with another fat chick, and had my last memory be that of throwing up in the snow. After that I blacked out.

 

While blacked out, apparently, Chris and Andrew decided to leave -- and me being drunk and out on my feet, they decided to take me with them. As we were leaving, Tireef (who hadn't been drinking) offered to drive the three of us (all of whom had been drinking) home, but Chris and Andrew again insisted that it was no big deal.

 

So we began driving home. Note that it was a heavy snowstorm that night, and the lines on the road were difficult to see. It seems that I was vomiting in the back seat, and it got so bad that Chris tried to pull off the road and put his fourways on. However, instead of pulling off the road, he pulled into the fucking lane.

 

Me after finding out what happened: "Dude, you could've made me puke out the window."

 

So, our luck, a cop drives by and sees our car pulled over, with me hanging out the backseat puking. He taps on the driver's side door and asks Chris for license and registration -- but Chris, bastion of intelligence, has left his license at home. In a moment of pure genius, he hands the cop Andrew's license. I was told the exchange went like this:

 

"What is this?"

 

"My license."

 

"Step out of the car, son."

 

Fucking great. It was around this time that I came to, and I remember being shoved against the hood of a police car and patted down. Handcuffs, threw me in the back of the car, and drove off. On the way to the station I blacked out several times, and what I do remember is banging my head on the glass window and asking the cop to turn the radio up.

 

Got to the station, blew a .18... yeah. They held us there for a good four hours before making us call our parents, who promptly came and posted bail. My mum came and picked me up.

 

She cried. Because of me.

 

I'm a man's man.

Unless you live in a hick state:

 

1. A cop cannot arrest you for being drunk in a car if you are not the driver.

2. The police must allow you at least one phone call, and they must do it in a timely manner. Four hours is not a timely manner.

 

My advice: Get a good, inexpensive lawyer, and tell him/her what happened. If that lawyer has anything resembling a brain, those charges will be dropped before you can say "Police Harrassment."

 

BTW, if you're Hispanic, and driving in a nice neighborhood with a decent car, you are three times more likely to be pulled over for almost nothing. If you're black, it's five times more likely.

Jingus has to relinquish his Fat Chick Thrilla member title to Calvin. You're lucky you didn't die of alcohol poisoning with that .18 shit. Don't make me and CWM lecture you cause we're lazy and don't want to.

Well, I live in NH, but I'm also sixteen, so I am kinda fucked there.

Oh yeah, forgot about the underage thing. But, the excessive holding time isn't going to fly.

I also hope your mom takes you on Maury Povich and they show degrading black and white footage of you looking all hard before that big muscular black man makes you cry.

Alcohol poisioning starts at about .40. If you have a .50 rating, you'll be dead.

How Much Alcohol Is "Lethal"?

The "lethal dose" (LD) of alcohol is clinically defined as the amount that would kill half the population (the LD50). Most authorities place the LD50 at about .40% or about four times the current legal limit in most states. However, there are many cases in which death occurred from alcohol poisoning at much lower, and in some cases, much higher levels. For a 100 lb. man or woman drinking very quickly, it would only require about 8-10 drinks in an hour to reach the lethal level.

 

Bite me, hippie. :P

Except I had a friend die of alcohol poisoning with a level of under .30

 

You should e-mail that site to his parents. I'm sure they'll be happy to read their son couldn't have died.

Read it again, dumbass. :P

 

It says that the average lethal dose is .40; but, some people have died from less of a dose.

Ah, your mom was overreacting to make you feel guilty. She or your father have been picked up drunk at the police station at some point, I'm sure. You'll get community service and a lot of bad noise for the minor consumption. Unless you've got a record or whatever.

Do, he might come back bitter and twisted.

 

 

It's good to see someone else other than JaXl has drunken adventures around here.

Don't worry. I e-mailed TSM's anti-satire division to make sure this never happens again.
