My Brother Arrested Satan....

[Southern Presbyterian]

We went to visit my family this past weekend. It was a wonderful, refreshing time for my family and me. I was talking with my Brother, who is a Sheriffs Deputy, and he was sharing some stories from work. I just have to share this one with y'all.

A while back he got a "disturbing the peace" call and arrived to find a man, who just happened to be high on drugs, harassing people and shouting that he was Satan. He arrested the guy and took him down to the station. During the booking process the guy told him that he (my Brother) had made a big mistake and that he ("Satan") was going to damn his soul to hell for arresting him. My Brother takes this all in stride and returns to his patrol. A couple of hours later he gets a "drunk in public" call and finds a woman wondering around a strip mall, obviously intoxicated. He arrests her and she tells him that she is Jesus Christ. So on the ride down to the station he decides to tell her about what "Satan" had said earlier, just to see what reaction she would have. She listened intently, nodded her head and said, "That's ok, I'll take care of it."

What a wacky, mixed-up world we live in these days.

I used to work in a psych floor and on several occasions had patients urgently come to the desk to explain that they needed to get out because "This place is full of crazies!"

OK. If you insist, we'll assume you were "working there" and were not a resident.

I was thinking the same thing, but was waiting for someone else to make the comment.

He didn't say what kind of work he was doing. Cutting out paper dolls can be considered work, ya know....

It could have been a work-release program.

All in a days work ...

I have never arrested Satan ... But I have been accused of being a "Blue Eyed Devil" a couple of by people I have arrested.

Hey, I held the keys! And I was sitting on MY side of the desk, not coming up to the desk....that counts for sumthin' right?

James, I DO believe you. But, Gosh! This is unbelievable!

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Have you been selective in those you have told this to? How many people have accused you of being a liar?

I only just heard the account myself this past weekend. But so far no one has questioned my veracity.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Rich, I don't think he lives around there...

I let out a gaffaw. (To tell you the truth, I thought "Rich" too after I posted but thought it was too obscure to bring up. Good job Meg. LOL!)
