Hit and Run
Here is a story from last winter....
It was snowing and the streets were covered with ice. A 43 year old woman hit not one, not two, but THREE cars in her neighborhood on her way home. The police were called and she was tracked down.
When they showed up to her door, she freaked and hid in the attic. Of course she had some outstanding warrants, so she was arrested.
As the police were escorting her out of the house to haul her off, she slipped and fell and shattered her radius.
So instead of bringing her to jail they had to bring her to the ER. As the police usually do, they got tired of waiting in the ER and released her from their custody.
Imagine the irony. She trashes 3 cars, and gets out of going to jail by breaking her arm in police custody.

WTF
That is very sad to hear.
Yep...WTF! Did she end up eloping from the hospital?
I hope that means they'll be back for her when she's released. Is that too much to hope for?
She stuck around for her splint and pain med prescription. Norco keeps most people around. Gotta stay to get your candy
Not in my custody. I hat hit and run drivers - I'd wait that one out.
