What is the name of your state? VA
I am embarassed to even write this post because of my stupidity. Friday night while on my way home from a cruising spot, I was sitting beside a friend at a light. A friend of his was in the car with me. We both drive similar sports cars. Without any communication between us (I swear...why would I not be honest here),when the light turned green I dropped the clutch and smoked the tires through the intersection. Well, so did he. I was just showing off and guess what.... there was a police officer sitting off the road somewhere behind us. I had already started to slow down when I saw his lights come on. I freaked out. I am a normally responsible adult. I do not know what the hell I was thinking, but I took off. Made one right turn went down about 2 miles took another right turn and then a left into a hospital parking lot. The police officer had not seen me pull in and my friend got into the lot without being seen either. The security guard was out smoking a cigarette and watched us pull in and saw the officer drive by monents later. Long story short, after about 30 minutes in the ER waiting room, they figured out who we were and caught us.
They arrested us. We sat in the patrol cars for almost a hour and a half. I was trying to BS them at first. All of the sudden they uncuffed me, told me that I was officially unarrested an ask me to explain what the hell I was thinking. I expressed my remoarse and fear but gave them as little info as I possibley could. They told us that they were going to have the charges written up and call us to come in and sign the paperwork.
Then they all left!!! What the hell. They let us drive our cars home!? I still can't beleive that we didn't go to jail that night. I have no idea what the charges will be, but one officer told my friend it would be a class 1 mistamenor and that we would just get a slap on the wrist.
Anyone that has any idea what I am looking at, please let me know where I should go from here. I really don't want to get a lawyer until I see the charges.
Thanks for listening and I will post new info as it becomes available.
