I don't know why their car was stopped - speeding, broken tail light, whatever. But among the three of them someone had a gun (in a southern state where it was probably legal), and there were teeny bits of pot in ash trays and under the (regular) cigarettes in cigarette packs. I think there was even a small amount of cocaine.<br /><br />My parents, who aren't well off, bailed my brother out and got his charges reduced to some level where he did no jail time. They did this by making something like a $10,000 donation to the local police officer's association "community fund," as they were instructed to do. I don't think the other two boys were as lucky.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253124557275792455noreply@blogger.com
