Straight Up Got Arrested

Never been in trouble a day in my life. However, that has all changed. I went to the Phoenix Open with Swallow, Individual Deserts, and Mascara. It is a party for the see and be seen. A great reason to get all dressed up, pay for over priced beers and soak up some sun. Not many people at the tournament, were actually there to watch golf. Many of the golfers on the tour have refused to come back, because people are so loud and disrespectful of the idea that golf is a game of silence and concentration.

Since it is a game of silence, the crowd is not suppose to bring in cell phones and cameras. Of course, out of the four of us, I had the smallest camera and skinniest cell phone so I stuck them down in my pants and in we went. The cell phone came in very handy when we were trying to meet up with Swallow's friends and we also got some great pictures (I will post these when I get home). So, Mascara needed to go to the bathroom, and like our mom's always told us strength in numbers, Mascara and I partake on our adventure to the portapotty. We struggle to get through the crowd, do our thing, wash our hands and then struggle to get back through the crowd over to where Swallow and Individual Deserts are standing. I walk up and immediately, Swallow says "Call James and find out where he is." I whip out my cell phone and call him, of course, swallow gives directions and I listen.

A police officer walks up and says "Maam, is that a cell phone?" My first instinct is to lie, so I calmly say "no," and turn my back to him. Worse case secenario is they take my cell phone, "its all good, because I have insurance, so I am cool with it." He explains that we aren't allowed to have cell phones and that he is going to have to arrest me. He puts my hands behind my back, and I tense up. "Holy shit, how on earth am I going to explain this one to my family?" Swallow and Individual Deserts just stand there, and Mascara, is trying to figure out what is going on. I am immediately quiet and very pleaseant with the officer, in an attempt to not get arrested. He then started to laugh, as did Swallow and Individual Deserts. Apparently, they concocked this wonderful little plan while we were in the bathroom.

Talk about a terrible experience. My blood pressure went through the roof.
