Another time time I got arrested and had to spend the weekend in was while I was stationed at Fort Sill, OK. This girl and I was drinking and spending the night at a lake. It wasn’t a campground, it was a boat launch at Potawatomi Twins Reservoir if I remember correctly.
A Cache, OK PO, showed up and told us to leave. I told him I didn’t have the keys to the vehicle. He said okay we could stay, But the car when it was backed in to be parked the rear wheels were allegedly on the grass. He said if we moved it off the grass we could stay. I told him I was in condition to drive. He said tell him where the keys were he would move it off the grass or he was going to call a wrecker and have it towed.
I told him the keys were on top of the passenger side rear wheel. Thinking I couldn’t get in trouble because I didn’t have the keys in my physical possession. Wrong got arrested for BAC, the car go towed and off to jailI went for the weekend.
Got a lawyer, all charges dropped for good cause shown.
Good causes consisted of the police officers timesheets of being a MP at Fort Sill during the day and a police officer for the city of Cache. He had been doing 12 hour shifts during the day for Fort Sill and 12 hour shifts at nite for the city of Cache for several days and nights in a row. He shouldn’t of even been driving. Plus he was 1 mile out of his jurisdiction and had no business bothering the fine citizen at the reservoir in his ‘81 Z-28 with some whore from downtown.
