How I Got Arrested
Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there. I'll tell you how I become arrested in a town called Austin.

Earlier today I was called into a conference room by two special agents of the FBI for questioning. This is not cause for alarm. My boss has the same thing happen to him every 5 years. You see, the DoD likes to keep up to date on all of its information. So agents stop by and ask very importantTM questions every now and then, like: Have you been doing anything illegal since last time we talked? It's ok, you can tell me.

For me, this was finally my initial security interview for my Secret clearance. The only sticking point was the fact that, according to Texas police records, I was arrested for fleeing the scene of a traffic incident on the 6th of August, 2006.

Me: Whaa?

Now, if you remember, I was in a car accident on that day. And the person that hit me fled the scene and was later arrested that same day after being caught by the police. Apparently the officer that wrote the report on this incident must have had selective dyslexia because he wrote my name in the perpetrator field and the name of the person who hit me in the victim field. Oops

After explaining what happened, the agents just smiled and said, "Oh yeah, stuff like this happens all the time. We'll get it all worked out."

Me: Erm?

So yeah, I was arrested -- And I didn't even know about it!
