Thanks for the reply, I will try that as soon as I get out of prison.
Apparently I had several fully loaded semi-automatic weapons
in the truck of my car and I allegedly grabbed them and paraded
through the office while brandishing them in a threatening manner.
I don't remember any of it but I must have slipped into a florescent
light induced trance because when I woke up I had a cop sitting on
my neck while another was hitting me with his night stick and yelling
'Stop Resisting!'.
