A man buys a new car and goes home to tell his girlfriend. He goes the wrong way up a one way street, bumps into seven people, goes on the pavement and takes a shortcut through a public park. He is seen by a policeman but is not arrested. Why?

He is merely walking on the sidewalk. The puzzle is trying to make someone assume he's driving ;)

Whe he brought the pen to the sheriff's office later that morning he was promptly arrested.
Why?

The sheriff says I dropped my pen at the front of the lanes, he didn't say bowling lanes, nor did he ask what he meant by lanes, so that means he had to have known, so he got arrested. The only problem with this solution is that if this is a small town and since there is only one Bowling Lane in the town, he may have automatically known that he meant bowling lanes, also especially if he was a bowler himself.
