Arresting the Victim

I responded to a stabbing call recently in which a Mexican male had been slashed across the hand during a drunken party fight. The wound was minor, and in his inebriated condition he didn't seem to feel it. I asked for some form of identification to use for the police report. He responded by telling me he was an illegal immigrant and didn't have a license to drive.

I assisted in locating, chasing down, and arresting the suspect. After this I gave the victim his case report number and bid him a good night.

Later, maybe thirty minutes later, I saw the victim driving away on Deep Hollow Drive. He ran a stop sign and I couldn't help but remember he had no license and was quite drunk at the scene. I could barely believe he was that stupid. No, I take that back. I can completely believe he, and most every other drunk driver/criminal, are that stupid.

I arrested him for drunk driving. He was booked and photographed. Two days later I was contacted by I.C.E. Evidently they decided to ship him back to Mexico... express delivery.
