Fo those of you who read this blog because of it's Memphis connection, here's a little tidbit for you. This is from Thursday's Albuquerque Journal. It's a pretty huge deal from the sound of it. Apparently, when Memphis Police found out that APD had these guys in custody, they were (and I'm not making this up) Glad we had them, and even gladder they weren't in Memphis.
I never did fit in with the rest of the guys but I tried for years. When something bad happened, you guessed it, I got caught. I guess I stood out a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it was the plaid shirt.
ReplyDeleteAlso the shoes where not tramped down.
While I had my problems with the Memphis gang, Rick was never completely 'out of the woods'.

Hmmmm.....
That is a totally insane story, by the way.
ReplyDeleteA couple who had packed their daughter off to college were enjoying themselves. A few drinks, some naked dancing. When suddenly, a cop busts the door down. When the husband started giving him shit, the cop started wailing on the guy and the wife jumped on the cops back and they got hauled off to jail.
This was three years ago. It’s finally in court. The DA is presenting, as evidence of the couple’s wrongdoing, the officer’s belt recorder, which shows the husband getting belligerent.
The defense is also presenting the recording, although, they are focusing on the first 9 minutes of the tape – before the officer actually entered the house. On the recording, you hear the cop’s feet on the gravel as he approaches the house. The music is heard growing louder as he walks around the side of the house. And then?
And then, silence. No movement by the cop except for the full 4+ minutes of the Collective Soul song that the couple were dancing naked to. The cop was standing there watching them. And when the wife saw him, she screamed and ran to get dressed. That’s when the cop came back around and walked in.
Talk about a friggin police state!
