Fave stories

Since I started working at probation 5 years ago, my friends always ask for two things: to see my badge and for funny stories. My badge has been lost for ages (if you ever see someone impersonating TB, please confiscate that badge!), so here are two of my all-time favorite drunk probationer offenses:

A girl was drinking with friends at a local bar. Her friends thought she was too drunk to drive home, so they called her a cab. The cabbie arrived and went inside to find the girl. Unfortunately the girl walked outside about the same time, got in the cab, and drove herself home! Her friends gave the cops the girl's address so they were able to find her and the stolen cab. She managed to get home in one piece, but unfortunately picked up an Unauthorized Use of Vehicle charge.

One of my other favorite stories is a girl who was drunk when she left Tom's daiquiri bar (and anyone who's ever been to Tom's knows there is no other way to leave there!). Within two blocks of the bar she rear-ended another vehicle at a stop light. This other vehicle just happened to be a police.officer.in.a.marked.cruiser. Oopsy!

More amusing, unfortunate, disturbing (and always anonymous) stories to come!
