Hi. I'm trying to think of another description to put here. Any ideas? I'll try again at 420.

Last night I was chatting with my guest...

...and he shared a story about a fight he had gotten into when he was a kid, and a drunk kid at that. It was a pretty funny story except for the fact that he ended up getting arrested. But, that was back in the day when the government didn’t want people to have a criminal record for getting into trouble as juveniles. Anyway, he asked me if I had ever been arrested and I told him about my rap sheet. It isn’t very long, but I most certainly do have a record...I think...but no convictions.

I am a law abiding citizen, unless of course you count speeding tickets, but there was a time when I was arrested twice in two weeks because of complaints filed by two different men. I ended up going to court two days in a row...and I got the SAME JUDGE both times.

At the time, I wasn’t dating anyone exclusively. I had been out with an old boyfriend who still had the hots for me. I didn’t know that he did and when we went out, he got drunk. I walked to my mother’s house from where we were because I didn’t want to get in the car with a drunk. He eventually showed up at Mom’s house and I was the only one there. I didn’t let him in, instead, I went outside of the door to speak to him. He began by apologizing but the alcohol got the better of him and he became angry because I wouldn’t leave with him. He had me backed up against a door that opened out and I WAS out so there was no retreat behind me and this creep was standing in front of me. I was getting pretty angry myself, not to mention frightened. After listening to his ranting for a few moments, I became even angrier. Something happened that I have never had happen before or since. My hands began to ball up into fists. When the guy, Steve, noticed my hands, he laughed at me and aid that I was no match for him. Without thought or planning, I popped him in the nose. He fell backwards like a tree so I took the opportunity to run past him, jump in my car and drive away.

Well, within a few days, I was arrested for assault. I told Vex about it and he laughed and laughed at the fool who would go into court, all 6’4” of him and say, “She it me!”

Apparently, I broke his nose in two places and he actually showed up in court with his x-rays but I guess he considered the fact that he would look stupid and I had already told the prosecutor that I was in fear for my safety so maybe he thought about that as well.

Shortly after this incident, Vex and I had an argument. I left his apartment, taking with me my make up basket (with a few things that I kept at Vex’s) which contained his keys. His key to his job was on the key ring so when he went to work and told his boss’ wife, she told him that he HAD to have me arrested. He was just dumb enough to believe her (or he lied to me and the truth was that he WANTED to have me arrested) and he did just that. I was arrested for petty larceny even though by that time, I had given the keys back.

So, one day I showed up in front of a judge with an ex boyfriend who had me arrested for assault. The nimrod DID drop the charges right there. Well, the next day, I showed up in court for the Vex charges and the judge was rather tickled. He said, “You again ma’am? What is it that you do to these men?”

Vex also dropped the charges. I was dating an attorney at that time and I had brought him to court with me, just in case I needed one. So, the charges were dropped and I left. Later on, Vex called me ANGRY that I had brought a date to court and said, “I can’t believe you brought your new boyfriend to court, I was going to ask you out to lunch!”

Out to lunch? I think his brain was out to lunch. He was actually annoyed that I didn’t come to court and fall into his arms. He told me that he “almost changed my mind about dropping the charges”. So, I was supposed to be thankful that he dropped the charges that he had filed against me and go out to lunch with him.

Of course, I did eventually go back to him and I even married him (twice). And you know what? Last summer, when he was being so mean, he told me that he was being mean because I had HIM arrested for assault. Well, I didn’t, the police did. And, the entire incident would have never happened if he wasn’t already being mean to me and screwing two other women. He just wanted to find a way to blame it all on me so that was his rationale. Anyway, that fool had ME arrested first and I hadn’t even done anything (on purpose) to be arrested for.

I tried really hard to stay out of trouble in that town, God forbid I would have had that same judge AGAIN! Anyway, I received two subpoenas yesterday to be on call beginning May 16th. I have to be ready within an hours’ notice, to go and testify against Vex for the domestic violence. I’m not sure how it works, but beginning May 16th, I must be ready to go to court at all times. Of course, I WON'T be dropping any charges.

See ya,

Meg
