I was arrested two nights ago; first time ever for me. I always wondered what it would feel like to be frisked, cuffed and stuffed. Now I know.
A scary traffic stop turned into an arrest for an outstanding warrant. It went like this:
I was riding home from the club wearing a cocktail dress and five-inch stiletto heels. The driver was a man I have known for years. Brian and I have fooled around on more than one occasion.
The flashing lights appeared out of the darkness and Brian immediately pulled over. Within seconds, another squad car joined the parade and then four pistols were trained on us.
We were ordered out of the Dodge Charger, and told to slowly walk backwards with our hands up. Brian went first and I observed as best I could in the rear view mirror. My heart was pounding with fear and also a touch of excitement: I was gonna get handcuffed.
It was my turn, now. I slowly got out of the car and then walked backwards to the sound of the officer's voice until I was ordered to my knees with my hands behind my head and ankles crossed.
