The narc came to the door with money for Mr’s roommate who was in shower at the time. Mr. put it on the coffee table and served 45 days in jail at Christmas. Was supposed to be 60 days. 15 off for good behavior.

His roommate spent a year in jail.

So yea. Folks went to jail then.

Two interesting points.

The jail had plenty of pot in the cells.

About six months after Mr. got out of jail his older sister ran over and killed the presiding judge’s sister. Pure coincidence and no charges filed.
