"Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in."

Ok, I'm blowing things out of proportion now. The roommates are definitely gone and as I type this, the locksmith is changing the locks on all of my doors.

But! The crazy man who was arrested Monday morning called a little while ago asking me if I knew what happened to his money. I told him that I had no idea what he was talking about and I don't know where my roommates have gone now. I'm not even certain if any money was actually stolen.

Then! The police rolled up to my door this afternoon looking for Male Roommate. They had a warrant for his arrest. I told them that he might be in Atlanta, but he told me yesterday that they were headed to Miami on Monday.

Interestingly, the police said I almost went to jail on Monday. I may have almost gone to jail, but I sure as hell wouldn't have stayed there. Since there would have been no reason to take me to jail and the other police officer told me that I was in the clear, I think the officer from today didn't know what he was talking about. Schmucks.

Anyway, these particular crazies are almost out of my life completely.

WOO!

Update: Apologies to Godfather III fans. I got the quote wrong the first time.

Flib--I was surprised that you didn't get arrested. These days, what with the "War on Drugs" and all, have there not been several cases of folks having vehicles and homes confiscated merely because drug or paraphenelia was found there? In other words, if the stuff's in your house, then you and your house are forfeit.

My response:
The ranking officer on the scene at the time explained to me that I was fairly well protected from going to jail because of my lease with my tenants. He said that in the legal context, that room of theirs is separate from my house.

Obviously he could be wrong about that. If the law is irrational, there isn't a rational way to interpret it consistently, so who knows?

But I didn't do anything wrong or illegal, so even if I did go to jail, I am confident that I would not have stayed.
