Spinoff of my thread about the percentage of arrests in this country. Like the prostitution thread, feel free to tell your story, especially if you spent any time in jail.

I have never been arrested.

Yes..

As an adult a couple of minor ones.. Underage drinking at 19.. twice.... and yes, I was arrested and taken to jail until I could pay the fine.

On my 2nd offense, I lost my license for 3 months.. Strange law that even though neither time was I anywhere near a car, the law was written that the 2nd offense for underage drinking included a fine and a suspended license..

As a Juvenile though I was a mess.

I was getting drunk by the time I was 13, and started smoking pot at 14. Long story short I was trying to escape an abusive Step-dad and both of those let me forget about home life.

I was arrested twice as a Juvenile, both are kind of long so will post differently for each..

The first one... I was 16 and my Mom had added me as a co-signer on her credit card.. was suppose to be for emergency's only in case I needed gas for the car.. One night I was riding around with some friends and we were talking about home life and how much it sucked.

One of the guys in the car mentioned he had an uncle that was a Manager at a Winery in California. His Uncle had told him he was always looking for workers and he was welcome to move out there and live at his house and work there any time he wanted. One thing lead to another and he and I decided we'd take Amtrak to California and start new..

Thanks to my Mom's credit card we lived the high life so to speak on the train, eating Steak dinners, Steak lunch, etc.. Then, as we reached Whitefish, Montana two Police officers and, what turned out to be a Private Investigator, came on the train and took us off the train. Really wasn't hard for my Mom to track us down once she realized her credit card was missing.

Once they verified he was 18 and had no reason to hold him, they took him to Salvation Army to spend the night and I found out later he was able to get on the train the next day and continue on his journey..

I on the other hand spent 2 long nights in jail until my Mom and Step-Dad could drive out and pick me up.

There are long drives and there are LONG drives.. Nothing will ever be longer then the drive back from Montana to Minnesota.

and now the 2nd story...

Two weeks after the Montana "adventure", I was sitting around with a couple of friends smoking and drinking and I decided I needed a new car stereo for my car, and they thought they could use some items also. So, I "borrowed" my Step-Dads Van, the keys for my car were taken due to Montana, and we took off for a neighboring town.

We would look for Apartment Parking lots and wander around looking into cars. Once we determined which cars had items we wanted, we'd break the windows and leave for 30 minutes. We'd then return and, if no cops were around, take the items we wanted.

The first attempt went off without a hitch.. The 2nd one not so..

As we were driving around after the 2nd parking lot glass breaking I turned around in a residential area and there was a cop sitting there with it's lights off.. Turns out my Step-Dad's Van had a headlight out and he was following us, when I turned around he decided things were strange enough to pull us over.

As he was walking up to the Van, which had one of those large "picture" windows on the side, he looked in and saw one of my friends trying to hide the stolen items under the couch.. That was enough for him to have us all get out of the van and he called in for backup.

We had to take them to the parking lots where we had stolen from.. If we had any brains at all we would have taken them to just the one lot where the items came from.. But one of the idiots with me panicked and spewed his guts out about the 2nd lot where we hadn't taken any items yet, but had broken out 3 car windows.

When we got to jail the to other two called their parents who were coming to get them.. When I called home the only answer I got from my Mom was .. Stay there we are NOT bailing your A## out..

Well, in hindsight can't really blame her since she had just bailed my butt out two weeks ago in Montana.

For some odd reason, when one of my friends parents showed up and found out my parents weren't coming to get me, the cops allowed him to sign me out and take me home.

When I got home, my Mom and Step-Dad were not there.. turns out they finally did decide to come and get me.. Well, mainly they came to get the van but since I was suppose to be there also...

Ended up in front of judge charged with a Felony as we did close to $4,000 worth of damage.

I was put on probation for the next two years, had to pay restitution, write letters to the car owners apologizing and do 40 hours of community service.

I was also warned by the judge that if I broke the law again before I turned 18 I'd be sent to a Juvenile detention center until I turned 18..

That was enough for me to stop being a criminal.. about 6 months after this my Mom finally listened to my sister and I in regards to how abusive my step-dad was to us and we moved out..

How do you get pot at 14 and where do you get the $ to pay for it. I can only assume the $ came from mom since she was bright enough to let you co sign a credit card. Not in a million years would a kid of mine have a credit card. Your a@@ would have gone straight to military school.

I started actually "working" when I was 12.. Did the community paper routes.. you know, the "free" flyers that clog up your mailboxes?? That was me when I was 12

Also, around 12 I was a "door to door" salesman selling Stationary, Cards, and miscellaneous items.. Surprising how much crap neighbors will buy from a 12 year old compared to an adult

Also, around 13 I was babysitting the neighborhood kids.. Little did they know what I was doing with the money they gave me
