so saturday night i was chilling with my buddy brandon, longboarding around and just hanging at his house when i get a call from my other buddy jon, who tells me his parents are away for the weekend and hes having some people over to drink and what not. so me and brandon decide to check it out, but first i have to pick up jon's friend nick, and then get jon at work. so i go pick up nick, and he has a backpack full of beer with him. im used to ridin dirty, i drive slow and shit to be on the safe side, and i didnt think tonight would be any different. so me brandon and nick show up at jon's work, a gas station where he works alone. He's allready with another friend of his, so my car is completely packed once we head over to jons house. now jon's work is seriously a minute drive to his house, and in the minute between the gas station and his house, we see a cop parked on the side of the road, looking for speeders and what not. Now, nick is in the passanger seat with a backpack full of beer because my trunk is full, not to mention two open bottles as well. I had about $5 worth of pot in my cigaratte pack and as we pass the cop i feel confident im driving at a good speed, because i hadnt had anything to drink. so we turn onto jon's road and boom. blues go up. we all agree were fucked, and i pull over. the cop comes up, i give him my liscence and registration, he immediatley asks whos drinking because he can smell it. i tell him i have no idea and he makes me step out of the car. i tell him i will take a breathalizer on the spot and he believes that i am sober. now cop #2 shows up, officer fredericks the #3 highest paid official in my town. he makes everyone get out of the car, and immediatley he finds nicks beers. nick takes full responsibility for them, and i allow the cop to search my trunk, where he finds a cooler of beer belonging to my buddy brandon. he also takes responsibility. i get searched and my tiny amount of pot is found. now the officer asks me if ive ever been arrested before, i have not been, and he slaps the cuffs on me and nick and puts us in his cruiser. now the k9 guy comes, and takes jon's friends backpack out of my car which i didnt even realize he had. inside, he pulls out all sorts of fireworks, illegal in massachusetts. think of it like the icing on the cake, i had no idea they were in there. anyways, the cops ends up letting jon go home because he lives on the street we got pulled over on, and calls the parents of brandon and fireworks kid. so basically the only reason nick got arrested was because his beer was open, seeing as brandon got to leave because they were in the trunk. as for me, i was charged with a minor transporting alcohol, open containor in a minor operated vehicle, and class d possession of marijuana. me and nick are booked, and we stay in lock up for six hours waiting for the bail commissioner. she finally comes at 4 in the morning, and me and nick are let out. i walk home. shitty. long story short, parents are ripshit, im grounded until "further notice", i have no more car, cell phone and i snuck online to share my story. i went to my court arraignment today and i have a court date on my sisters birthday. nice. im pretty much fucked, not to mention broke because of all these fines and i just turned 18 last week. moral of the story, put the beer in the trunk, never have an open container , that alone is a $500 fine and it wasnt even my beer.
