Three friends and myself were heading back from the bar to my friends condo. He lived the closest, we were all terribly drunk, and had spent our cab money on Last Call specials. We're wandering down the sidewalk, on a major road, giggling, laughing, and generally not giving a shit.
Now, I smoke cigarettes, and have a habit when it comes to the last hit before I flick it. When I know I'm taking the last drag, I pinch the butt between thumb and middle finger, hit it, then flick it. To the police officer who was driving past at the time, it looked like I had hit a joint, noticed him, then flicked it into the street.
Before anyone can register it, the COP does a 180, and pulls his cruiser into the parking lot of the strip mall we were passing. He gets on the intercom and starts telling us that we have to lay on the ground (Presumably, the one officer didn't think he could handle four drunken linemen).
Well, we kind of stop, look at one another, look at the cruiser, look at each other, then simultaneously extend our arms out and give the cruiser "The Bird", and continue on our merry way. One friend whispered to the group, "If he searches me I'm going to shit my pants."
We continue down the street for fifty more yards, and even crossed at the crosswalk, getting on the side street leading to the entrance to the condos. The original cruiser stayed in the parking lot (Still on his damned megaphone), well, at least until his buddies arrived.
We weren't exactly shocked when two police cars hopped the curb in front of us, and behind us. Followed by a third who parked on the shoulder, on the opposite side of the street. We were surprised when they popped their doors, pulled their guns, and shouted at us to get on the ground.
Needless to say, these assholes weren't very gentle, immediately handcuffing each one of us. Everyone got a seat in a patrol car, but me. Soon, I had two patrolmen and a sergeant yelling at me, asking me about where the weed is. I'm totally confused, trying to explain that none of us smoke weed.
One patrolman says that he watched me make eye contact while hitting a joint, and then I flicked it into the street. It finally dawned on me, then. I got a huge smirk and started laughing at them, finally catching my breath and explained that it was a cigarette butt.
The police actually retrieved my cigarettes and lighter, unlocked one cuff, and had me smoke a cigarette in front of them. Meanwhile: My friend, specifically the one who said he was going to shit his pants, sees me laughing with the police as he's sitting in the back of a cruiser, with his hands cuffed behind him.
Then he sees them remove my cuff, and hand me my cigarettes, while I continue to have a huge smile as I'm laughing and joking with the other officers. He thinks everyone's getting charged with a disorderly, and I'm the only one getting off. He is going to have none of that.
Now, just as I demonstrate how I take my final drag and flick the cigarette at the same time, in one fluid motion, the police are beginning to remember that there is no crime rate in this city, and he was just dealing with four drunk guys who were smart enough to walk home.
I see my friends getting let out of the cars, and think to myself, "Alright, everything worked out." Just as the sergeant takes the other cuff off my hand, and returns them to their holder, I hear someone scream the following: "THAT MOTHERFUCKER JUST TOOK A SHIT IN MY CAR!!!"
Well, shit. My friend who shit in the cruiser got slapped with a disorderly and a night in the drunk tank. The rest of us went to my buddies condo and played hockey on his PlayStation until eight in the morning. Me and the condo owner hung around until one, that afternoon, so we could pick him up from jail.
We were milling about in the station when he came out the side door, holding his shoes with one hand and trying to put his belt on with the other. His first words? "Did I really shit in a COP car, last night?"
