Oh My Holy God!!! Excuse me, but that is just ridiculous. And you are right, it is a case of not having enough to do! I grew up in a small town and so I completely understand what happened to you and also know that if you were in the city it would NEVER happen.
I would be so pissed I would spit nails. I'll tell you what, I know you are supposed to carry controlled meds in the original containers, but both Gary and I carry them in unmarked containers, and it never occurred to me that anyone would actually arrest you for that. I've thought that if I ever committed some
other crime
, and they found the pills, that I would get popped for that too, but NEVER thought about anyone arresting me for that offense alone. Gary ALWAYS carries both pain pills (narcotic) and muscle relaxers in his wooden pill case in his pocket because he never knows when he might need them. LOL! He's gone through the airport security dozens of times with that wooden pill box in his pocket!!! OMG! I don't know what would happen if they tried to arrest him!!! He might go bonkers!
Judy, I would be horrified, mortified, pissed off and innumerable other things too. And I know what you mean about the police blotter in the new paper! Everyone looks at it in my little town to see who's mad at who or who's kid did what. I hope with all my heart that he can keep it out of the newspaper!!!
I'm so sorry it happened to you, that is just a crock of sh!t !!!!!
