Message: [QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1059920, member: 63076"] I once found myself missplaced in SC, I missed a speed limit reduction and was stopped be the local law enforcement. After writing me a citation with carried a very large fine, he was happy to provide me with directions to the nearest interstate. It is my understanding that the police can hold a person for a set amount of time without charging that person with anything. Often when a person tells a tale, that person will alter parts of the story to appear more like a victim. Perhaps, and this is only speculation, this couple were being beligerant. Being that this couple were coming from a sporting event, it is quite possible that one, or both, of them had been drinking. If the officer had detected the presence of alcohol, he might have questioned the odor. It is possible that the lack of charges was and act of kindness and the overnight stay was a sobering exercise.
