Got roll call tomorrow for the March term of Court. Many of my clients don't understand a lot, but all of 'em understand if you don't show up to Court and your name is called you get a Bench Warrant. A Bench Warrant is a "show cause" order the Judge issues for your arrest. If you're arrested on a Bench Warrant, you don't get out of jail until the Circuit Court judge lifts the BW. This can take awhile, because Colleton County only get a term of criminal circuit court every two months. Anyhow, the dude referenced in the article at left apparently didn't want to miss court, so he stole a car from the hospital and drove it to the courthouse. No bench warrant for him. The parking lot gets pretty full during court, so he parked it in the one space he could find: the Judge's space. Though my inclination is to say, "What a Maroon!", they still haven't caught the guy these several months later. Hmmm. Maybe the guy's not so stupid after all.Why do they do it? Officer Krupke could tell you:

You are fun-E!
I like the way he thinks! If (and when) I finally go cuckoo for Coco Puffs, I'm going into the loony bin with a bang. I'm still working on my plan, but so far it involves skydiving, a surf board and a clown.
Thanks, Guys. And, Star, clowns are way scary!
