15. Spent a night in jail but wasn't arrested of charged.

May 2021

I was 17 or 18 and my buddy and I were pretty drunk. We were in his car and got stopped.
Bessemer, Alabama in the 50s.

He was arrested and his car was impounded.
The cop wasn't much older than we were.
He asked me what I was going to do.
I said I didn't have a clue.
He said "You can spend the night in a cell. We won't lock the door."
So that's what I did and I even got breakfast the next morning.

I think my friend got a speeding charge and no DUI or underage drinking.

Oh yeah, my mother was really pissed.
