got a true story'
Back in the 80's I was living in a small apartment next door to my girlfriends house, she lived with her Momma.
we got into a fight over who the hell knows, lotta yelling and of course she was throwing my stuff'
finally, after we both told each other F you. she went home, I went to bed.
I was a poor plumbers helper, No AC, a fan in the window,
I was woke up, by the sound of shoes on gravel, and i saw a flash light .
so I grabbed my 12 gauge, tipped toed to the door. someone was on the other side of the screen door.
with out saying anything, i kicked the screen door open, and stuck the barrel in the face of one of Houston's finest.
RUT ROO!!!!. he was yelling,,,I was Yelling....we WAS YELLING....I lowered the gun, leaned it against the wall.
i asked him what the hell was he doing? e could have been shot.
he told me to shut up and step outside.
Now, I do not know a lot, but, I KNOW I am safe in my house, have done nothing wrong.
and AM NOT stepping outside across that threshold.
I told him so. he said I need to step out, and give him my ID..I said .I can hand you my ID from here.
after you tell me why you need my id.was i snoring to loud?
he said their was a disturbance at this address
I said only disturbance is you
Ok..he is one pissed off cop,wants to arrest me.but cant.so he tells me,
"I'll see you around"
for the next 2 weeks, every time I drove anywhere, I got a ticket for something..it was so bad, i sold my ride and got a different one
I had over a grand in tickets.
fast forward..about a year
I had come into a little cash, me and the girlfriend getting along. life's good
I asked her to pay off my tickets, while i was at work
with warrants and fines it had climbed to over 1500.00
she said..YES her and momma going down town anyway.
I came home,,she said she paid all of it,
did i want the receipts? no,,I dont need em...thank you BABE!!!
fast forward..'bout another year
we done broke up...I rebuilt a old chevy tradesmen 100 van with a 225 slant six...needs inspection sticker
I am driving home from work..a cop pass's me, i see his brake lights, I know he saw the inspection sticker out.
so i pulled over waiting on him..sure enough..ticket.he runs my name.
then, asks me to "step out" oh oh..that aint good!!!!
he arrests me for outstanding ticket warrants
WTF..
I am protesting..loudly,,telling him about paying the tickets
he is listening, finally, it dawns on me, and him, at the same time
she done ripped me off!!!
we both started laughing,,but he took me to jail anyway..{nice guy,actually]
I called my boss...you want me to be at work tomorrow? better come get my ass tonight!!!
