Ever been arrested and put in jail? (last saturday my bail was $540)
 

Jail sucks balls, I've never been arrested before last Saturday

Here's what I got:

Class C Felony > Criminal Threatening with Dangerous Weapon

Me and my step father got into it and I threatened to kill him and almost stabbed him with a huge kitchen knife:glugglug

It's my first offense, think I'll get jail time?

What have you gotten pinched for? Let's hear it

Tell us about your relationship with your father. We can help you!!!!

You need to get help for that rage. I'm not being cocky nor poking fun. That's serious.

i havn't experienced being in jail! and i don't even want to try!

jesus christ! :helpme

My cousin got charged with assault with a weapon when he threw a chair at someone and it hit them in the face. He just got probation. That was in Canada though.

... it's his step dad.

for your first offense no. probation and angry management classes will be more suitable.

Move out on your own.. It will do wonders for your relationship! I hope you don't have to do time. Yikes! :helpme

yeah i need anger management

i spaz out

+ i haven't had a cig since thursday, so that didn't help my moodswings

neither did arguing with the ex gf

put your programming services to work and move out of your parents home, lowlife.

what gives you the right to call him a low life?

you almost stabbed the guy that's boning your mom. Hope you guys don't live in the same trailer park.

Maybe the stepdad deserved it; we don't know the circumstances under which he attacked the man. Leave the boy alone. :(

I know a guy that killed his stepdad and NEVER spent a night in jail... He was an abuser and rapist, but still.. Sometimes things come to a head and the law understands that.

I hope this isn't the case, and I certainly don't condone violence. Good luck. :thumbsup

Violent crimes are ok now. Just don't get caught with a joint or open beer then you'll be in serious shit.

thanks but i really don't care

some people are just unhappy and negitive, i'll actually pray for him tonight

and the circumstances were him being violent towards me and me retaliating, just so everyone knows

and neither of us live or have ever lived in a trailor or apartment ;)

smart.

$540 for a felony? where the hell do you live?

My bails have always ranged between $10,000-50,000

Dude, get some therapy fast. Threatening anyone with a knife is not good, and likely to get worse and you'll end up in jail for a long time. It's not worth it..

Something doesn't add up right. A $540 bail for a class "C" felony that involves a dangerous weapon.

Explain?

:eek7

Do u mean u paid 540 total or u paid 540 thru a bail bonds company and that was just 10%.


For a class C felony it can't possibly be $540 total bail.

Been arrested before. Never been thrown in jail, though.

$5k is pretty cheap for a felony bail too . . . they obviously did not care about keeping him in for very long

yup, jail fucking sucks.

Earlier this year I was arrested for aggravated arson and manufacture of a delayed incendiary device.

made the news and 3 local papers, made the front page of one of them. the media = all fucking lies. they misprinted so many things its not even funny.
they misprinted my name, the date my friend was arrested on, they said we were trying to kill someone, they said someone was in a boathouse near by when there was NO ONE around. just proof that the media will hype up anything to sell a paper.

i bailed myself out for $500, they bail was $5000 but i called a bail bondsmen and paid 10%. I went and talked to the DA and he put me on this thing called PTI. I have to pay $1,100 in legal fees and its pretty much probation without any drug tests or probation officer. I got put on PTI for 10 months. if i fuck up any time during the 10 months, the felonies go back on my record and I will serve time.

I will be a free man July 1st 2005.

bails bondsmen, they front the $ until court. you pay a % of it.

Still doesn't add up with what you described I can assure you they would throw on Domestic Violence charges not just the "Criminal Threatening with Dangerous Weapon".

:eek7

I am quite aware of what a bail bondsman does, but paying $540 to one means the bail was probably only $5k, , , , for a felony?

Like I said, all my arrests ranged between $10-50k - which would be $1-5k to the bail bondsman

well, don't know about the domestic because he did not live there, but assault with a deadly weapon would be a given I would think

Don't think it matters if he lived there or not. :2 cents:

I was once questioned and nearly arrested for making death threats, but I weaseled my way out of it by using NLP on the cops. :1orglaugh

jail sucks, iv been there my fair share of times :)

Don't want to say.....did 4 years :(

Yes and it's a funny story.

In 1969 I was hitch hiking around Europe and one evening got dropped off in the middle of nowhere, near Munich, in the middle of the night. So decided to get off the motorway (freeway) pitch my tent and sleep the night.

In the morning I opened the tent and saw I had camped near a stream, so took off clothes, got my soap and proceeded to the stream for a wash. I also removed my glasses, which make me nearly blind.

After 10-15 minutes I can hear a siren and a few minutes later am being shouted at by two German policemen. I told them I was English, as if this is an excuse for being mad, and asked what the problem was.

They pointed behind me, so I turned around to look at what they were pointing at.

It seems I had wandered into someone?s back garden and was naked washing myself for all to see. It was an old peoples home. My belongings and I were thrown into the back of the van and I spent a few hours in jail.

Later when the police officer came to interview me I was surprised at how well he spoke English and wanting to get on his good side commented that he spoke very good English. He told me he had learnt while he lived in England for three years. So I asked him "Business or pleasure".

He replied "I was a prisoner of war 1942 to 1945" I had visions of staying Germany for a long time.

After a few more hours he returned and said that if his officers take me back to the motorway would I promise not to return?

I agreed.

never, don't plan too.. some ppl here scare me though.. except Charly, that is funny ;)

Umm . . . piece of advice?

Stop going around admitting the crime.

The whole thing was surreal and could of only happened in the 60s. Remember the Pink Panther film where Sellers and Ekland are picked up by a police van and going through the streets naked?

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. :1orglaugh

Well nearly.

You need to explain to the judge that you were having a very hard week work wise and then the step dad thing made you explode.

If you really want to do your self a favor. Enroll in an anger managment course now. BEFORE the judge tells you to. Then show him the proof. Tell him you are not sure if you actually need the course, but you figured that it would not hurt.

Makes you look like you realize that there could be a problem
