One weird afternoon

Talk about the strangest thing happening in my life.

Thursday afternoon I'm driving south on the highway just south of Sun Valley to go on a service call (I work on Mac computers). A cop pulls me over for going 41 in a 35. So I hand over all my info to him. He goes back to his car and starts taking forever. I'm walkie'ing my partner over our nextel phones about how he's taking forever. I'm thinking to myself that the cop was like, if you're in such a hurry i'll show you. So after about 20 mins of waiting on the side of a highway as rush hour passes me by another cop car pulls up.

Both officers get out and come to either side of the car and ask me to get out of the car. I do so and they start asking me questions about Rexburg Idaho. I had no idea of what they were talking about. So they say I have a warrent out for my arrest! I was pretty shocked considering i've been to Rexburg once or twice 2-3 years ago is all. The warrent was for possesion of pot. I've never done a drug in my life.

So right there on the highway with everyone driving by (it's a small community) I get cuffed, and arrested and put in the back of a police car (not very comfortable at all).

After getting to the police station they find out another guy around my age, brown hair brown eyes like me, and with the EXACT same name (first middle and last) was arrested for the charge. After seeing my SS# and DOB didn't match they let me go with a ton of sorrys. My partner was waiting there to pick me up because someone else in our building saw me being arrested and told him about it seconds after it happened. It's not around town that I got arrested. How embarassing!

I can just imagine the cop thinking "yeah right" when I told him I didn't do it, never have done drugs and it wasn't me. Probably thinking I've heard that before.
