I once got "fake arrested".
My mom used to work as a registered nurse for the County Sheriff's Department. One year, when I was like 16 years old, my mom, sister, my best friend and I went to a Sheriff's Dept. BBQ picnic. It was a special fundraiser for a Deputy whose child had leukemia.
Along with the food, they had a patrol car and a "jail booth" where you could pay $1 to have one of your friends arrested and put in the back of the patrol car for five minutes. My mom went off to talk to some coworkers and left my sister, friend and I all alone. A few minutes later, two deputies came walking out towards us. I said to my sister "I think they're coming to arrest us" and added jokingly, "if so, I'm not going nicely."
They came up with the warrants for our arrest. My sister had a warrant for "Excess Flirtation on a College Campus" and my warrant was for "Impersonating the President of the United States of America". heheh at that time, Bush Sr. was the President and I could do a really funny President Bush voice.
Anywaaaaayyy... my sister was happy to let a Deputy handcuff her with the fake little plastic handcuffs.
I, on the other hand, wanted to make my Deputy work for his $1. I sprung up from my table and shouted "I'm not going!" (he knew I was being funny). So he chased me around the table for a couple of laps. Then he tried to grab me by the wrists and I still managed to get loose! He said he was impressed that I could get free as I was "quite strong" for a girl. He said he didn't want to handcuff me because he figured I'd probably break them. hehe...
Since I was being difficult, he called for backup!! The other Deputy had to leave my sister in order to help the other guy wrangle me into submission. I figured I had given everyone enough excitement and I finally relented and went with them.
When arrestees get to the patrol car, the Deputy will use the car's loudspeaker to announce your name and your offense. After announcing my sister and putting her in, he said "...and this is Kelly. She's been arrested for impersonating the President of the United States" . Everyone is now staring at me so I started doing my Bush impersonation saying "Not gonna do it....wouldn't be prudent..." etc. Then the Deputy said, "...and we're adding an additional five minutes for resisting arrest". Then people really started staring! lol.
Ah well, we got revenge. We had my mom arrested for "Committing a Fashion Felony".
Ok...so it wasn't a real arrest, but they were real officers and a real patrol car!
.....Kelly
Hey! Ever been arrested??
