The story about me is incorrect.I was watching the band at the biker fest.I had 2 rum an cokes.After the band stopped playing i went to the smoke house.I got a rum and coke.I went downstairs to smoke.I took a pic of someone in a wedding party.They were angry.Then got the huge bouncer.He said go upstairs.I did.I got another rum and coke.I was filming the band at smokehouse.Those must have been really strong drinks.I went to get another drink.The bouncer grabbed me and slammed into a table.The picked me up an threw me out the door on the side.I have a bruise still.I i was assaulted.Don't they have cameras in there?There were people outside calling me names swearing at me.One said said hes calling the cops.I went out front and waited for them.No officer ever asked me what happened.They said come over to the side of smokehouse.I did.They searched me.I swore when i was speaking".Kinda hard to be nice when you just got bounced by a steroid looking man.and called names."They said OK take him.My arrest is on film.No rights read.i revived 2 violation tickets. it took 2 hours with no water or drink sitting i a holding cell with no restroom Do you really think everyone there was sober?How did i get so wasted off 4 drinks?Why'd they serve me.Why must you print such small crimes?Ever think how much it cost tax payers?To arrest and convict people.Here we are guilty till proven innocent.Since the one Brother at smoke house died it is not the same.This never would have happened to me in the past.Thanks for shaming my family over such a trivial thing.In my opinion i hurt no one.I was assaulted.If i had put a tiny bruise on someone id still be in jail.Im the one who was physically attacked.
