And I would let him be arrested!
He's too old to have his mommy taking care of him and catching him when he falls.
He's already lied to her, he's not going to stop now, he'll just keep taking advantage.

then you'd probably be arrested for assault - sm
to boot, as he did nothing to you except ask you to expose yourself. Ironic isn't it? I agree though, pretty duummbb of these women(?) to flash the doc then go national with their stuuppiddity.

Hoping they all get arrested
Easter Sunday here in major city 5 people killed in an accident, 3 children and 2 adults with the person causing the accident leaving. There has been an intense manhunt since that time with a tip coming in yesterday about the vehicle involved. The vehicle had been hid in a home gargage since the accident. A 22-year-old lady now arrested but 5 counts of homicide by vehicle but get this- her mother and grandmother were advised what had happened 2 days after the accident and they did nothing about calling the police. I hope now they have to pay the piper because they were involved in a coverup.

You can be arrested for not showing up!! snm
A town in OR (Eugene maybe) had such an awful jury duty rate that they rounded 'em up and started throwing them in jail for contempt; then deputies went out on the street and cornered passersby to serve on the spot!

arrested for bad checks - not Caylee
very unusual for someone to be arrested that way for bad checks, that scened was sooo dramatic. The cops must hate her too

I hope you got her arrested for credit-card theft
