A couple of years ago, early one Saturday morning my phone started blowing up from my brothers and a couple of cousins.
Their phones had been blowing up asking them what I’d done and why I was in jail.
The local jail had misclicked somehow during a booking of another person with my first name….and posted and listed in their app that I had been arrested the night before.
Local rumor took that and ran, and I was apparently arrested for beating a young man who had slapped my daughter.
I wasn’t arrested….i wasn’t in jail…I called and asked them to tske it down….and they did and the jailer who did it called to apologize
I didn’t address the rumor in town because sometimes there is value in people thinking you’d go to jail if someone were to mistreat your family.
