>off, had to be to the His station cause He wasnt
>dressed for an outdoor concert. OK, now we are passing
>shit around and eating what we can and washing it down
>with warm beer, starting to cop one hell of a buzz. At

>searched for illegel stuff in which a larger box was
>needed to put the baggies in. We didnt do a very good
>job of eating the evidence, I am sure I wasnt the only
>one that was full and happy. Real long story short,
>pleaded guilty- $25 dollar fine and you could go,
>plead innocent you got to stay and it cost you 50
>bucks. I was a 17 year old minor and wasnt charged but
>We did get our pics taken. So anyways we were allowed
