Jeebus Christmas that's a tad excessive!!
When I got my first underage drinking ticket I was 17 years old and at a house party. I was standing out front with a couple buddies watching the spectacle (basically the cops were just telling kids to go home), and I got the really smart idea to flick a beer cap at a police officer. Never thought in a zillion years
I would hit him...must have been 10-15 feet away. SMACK...right in the forehead!! I got tackled, cuffed, and brought to the drunk tank for the night. Fortunately, I was polite and very apologetic, so the police officer took mercy on me. I only got the ticket for underage drinking. I think it was like $65 or something.
My uncle happened to be a Lieutenant for the city police. I think that's the reason I spent the night in jail AND got off with just a ticket.
