Have you ever been arrested and jailed?

[public servant]

Just curious. No need to even post a response unless you want to share the details and experience. But there is no prerequisite to do so. Just vote in the anonymous poll.

There are over 60,000 people arrested in Marion County alone each year. Just wondering how many here. Purely unscientific and merely curious. There are no intentions by me to draw conclusions or pass judgment by me and I'll hope that no one else does.

Please do not ridicule anyone for their answer.

Thanks!

Yes! Not in this country thou!

I wonder how many of those 60,000 people are repeat customers? My guess is more than half.

Looking for Volunteers? Been in and out of many, many jails & prisons Nationwide but always on the right side of the bars. Worst Prison System to me was Massachusetts Prison System. The employees hated it because of their liberal policies and bending over backward for the inmates. Warden was stabbed in the yard on one of my visits.

I'm really not sure. But I'd venture to say aay more than 50%.

I could probably do a little research and find out though. I'll try to figure it out and post the results later.

I've never been arrested or jailed however there was one time when I was in high school where I got drunk ( I literally drank an entire fifth of absolute vodka by myself in an hour) at a party and got jumped for my wallet, watch and class ring. I somehow stumbled to a nearby Marsh Supermarket and they called the cops FOR me.

The police thought I learned my lesson (which I did) and drove me home. I could have very easily been arrested and jailed for PI and Underage consumption.

That's as close to being arrested as I have ever been.

At my high school, you, sir, would have been forever known as a "luck-a**. "

I got to visit a drunk tank when I was 18(never again will I drink anything and get behind the wheel). I completed the pre-trial diversion and at the end of it I was told that if anyone(job or police) ask if I've been arrested for a DUI, I say "no."

So I guess I'd fall under "jailed?"

I was arrested at the Border into Canada.

Got selected for a "random" car search and there was a set of throwing knives that was in the bottom of my trunk, that I didnt know was there so I didnt claim them at the gate...

What part about being robbed is lucky?

No and No.

Was arrested for OWI when I was 21, but I only blew a .05. They also found a bong in my back hatch, and charged me with reckless driving, possession of paraphernalia, disregarding 4 stop signs, and OWI. They took me to the hospital and took a blood sample because they thought I was high too. I was CC, and they got me all the way to the police station before they discovered it during pat down. Nothing was ever said about it either. I spent 8 hours in the tank.

The real story was that I was out with my roommates...who were both cops...I had ONE beer in the hour I was there, and one shot of bourbon on the way out the door. (it was January 6th and about 0F outside, and I was only in a t-shirt and jeans, so the bourbon was for the cold) I had to work at 6:00 am, and it was about 12:00 am when I was on my way home. I California stopped a few stop signs, and was driving about 55 in a 30. The bong was my other roommates who took my car to a party that weekend, and it was left in the back hatch in a duffel bag.

The cop that pulled me over was a total douche bag rookie who apparently had something to prove.

I hired an attorney, paid $1500, and got out of all of it but the reckless driving charge.

Does having a gun pointed at you in Broad Ripple count as an arrest?

It nearly gave me a cardiac arrest.

You need to hang out with a better class of people.

Thanks for the responses guys. Pictures would be good also.

Aren't yard jobs on Mayor Ballard justifiable, or at least excusable?

Did you find the cuisine acceptable?

Here's the scene of the arrest. It's to the left of where the cop is illegally parked:
