You know in Tuscaloosa, Auburn, and Tallahassee this would never been a crime for a football player. Only in Gainesville do the police seem to have it out for the football team. I just don't get it, is the police force full of Nole and Bulldog fans? At least it was Thompson and not Callaway or someone important.
FIFYMisdemeanor trespassing? To get HIS WEED out of his car no doubt.
So you drove home drunk and stoned?I got my truck towed outside of Richenbacher's one night in the mid-90s - we were not parked illegally, but still got towed. We took a cab to the tow lot and I proceeded to let the guy behind the counter know they towed a legally parked vehicle - I was not happy. He said I needed to prove where I was parked (and that it was a legal spot) or pay the $80 to get my truck back. I was pretty steaming hot, but the cab had already left and I had no way of providing proof - plus I was pretty drunk at that point. I paid the man, and then his daughter, who was probably about 10 years old (this was around 1:30AM mind you), came out from the back and asked if I wanted a puppy (she was holding a black lab mix that looked like it had just been weened). She said they had 3 more and were trying to give them up to a good home. I already had 2 dogs, so I went outside and told my buddy, who was outside smoking , and he went in and we ended up taking the dog back to his house, after stopping off at Publix for some puppy chow. Great dog that lived for 10+ years - he's now buried out in Sequim, WA near the Dungeness River - hopefully he's chasing squirrels in the forests of dog heaven.
Unfortunately, a common occurrence back in the days of being young and stupid.So you drove home drunk and stoned?

I'm surprised he even found the hole.If the towing company had just painted the fence to resemble a defensive line, he'd have never gotten in.
Shoot..... He's probably been crushing every hole in G'ville..... every one except the ones on the football field....I'm surprised he even found the hole.
Yeah, the proof thing was BS and still would be today. When you go out now, do you take a picture of where you park to prove it's legal?Good story (about the dog).
The part of this I don't like is they ask YOU to prove you were parked legally. THEY should have to prove you were parked illegally, that's the problem.
I imagine nowadays they can take pictures w/ a digital camera, but in the 90's that wasn't possible. I got towed in G-ville in the mid-90's from my apartment complex. I complained to the office manager and she basically said I was screwed (I'm sure they were getting a kick-back). I called her an uneducated, white-trash, c*nt and later got a certified letter saying I was not allowed to go into the management office! :D
