Once. While at college at K-State. I was leaving Manhattan to head back home for deer hunting. Had all my gear and gun in the back of the truck. Got pulled over leaving town for taillight out. Cop ran my tag, and found a warrant for a parking ticket that I supposedly got on campus, and never paid, and missed a court date for. I never saw a ticket because my address wasn't current. But he took me downtown anyway. (Old Riley County jail before they built the current one). It was only a $35 fine, but I didn't have enough cash, and they didn't have an ATM. I called about 5-6 friends, and couldn't get anybody to pick up. Was freaking out because all my stuff was still just sitting in the back of my pickup across town. Finally called a buddy who picked up, and told him what was up. Didn't really know him very well at the time. First thing he said was "Dude, you have no idea how high I am." But he still came down to bail me out. The cop was cool enough that he didn't even put me in the holding cell, I was just hanging out with him in the main office. My buddy showed up, and we could see him on the camera at the front desk, and the stupid bastard was flipping off the cameras. They didn't give either of us any issue though, and he paid the $35 to bail, we went to an ATM and I paid him back, and went on to go hunting. Technically never actually behind bars even though I was arrested...
Lots of shoulda-bens though... LOL...
