ok Charon:
what is the dumbest arrest you ever got to make during service? (dumbest = by your standard, one you agreed the least with, etc)
thanks
The one I agreed least with? That one's an easy one. I responded to a house where I'd gone before for a nasty domestic call, wherein the craven aggressor fled prior to my arrival, escaping through a swamp. Which was amusing.
I came back about a month later, after the girl had gotten upset with this douche for being especially douchetacular at a bar, and had swung her arm wide to point him towards the door. This arm's hand held a beer mug, and was about a foot closer to the guy than she thought, and the beer mug clobbered him in the lip. Witnesses advised that they had been arguing, but it didn't appear that she intended to get physical with him.
Under Georgia law, once we determine the primary aggressor in a domestic case, we HAVE to make an arrest. Judicial order, like a warrant. So I had to take a previously battered woman to jail. Felt like a winner, that night.
