This bar/restaurant is located directly in the middle of a huge area that only holds special events. This is definitely not their home. Maybe they live there during long weekend events, but no way is this their home. I can see how this was misleading.

On the police report, there is a place for "item stolen". The item stolen is listed as "Item 63"

The last line of the short report says "A copy of the ______ police report and witness statement are included."

There is no other report. I went back to the police department to see if they had not given me the entire report. They said that they do not have anything else, and that I would need to go to the area in question and talk to the security station. I went there and they couldn't help me as the lady who handles this had already left. I want to know what they are saying I stole! I certainly was not doing anything other than looking for a bathroom. I honestly feel her story is partly fabricated as this is just not the person I am. I clearly was looking for a bathroom... My friend who was there said that I left saying "i'm going to the bathroom". The next thing he sees is me being escorted out.

This whole thing is crazy. How can they say I was stealing? In the report it says that a woman saw me go up there and knew I shouldn't be in that area. I'm sure she immediately followed me. The first person who confronted me was a woman. She was very mad at me. This is the one moment of clarity that I have. It's almost like when she yelled at me, it kind of triggered some consciousness.

I had a meeting with my bondsman today, and he said that it is weird that they did not breathalyze me. He also said that this might work against me in the long run. I'm not sure about his reasoning behind that, I'm just relaying what was told to me.

This is a big charge guys. They were holding me on a HUGE bond. All that I'm guilty of is drinking too much, too quickly. Then going into an area I thought had a bathroom. Then in a moment of stupidity I blacked out and pee'd. That is seriously all that I did.

I do not have much money to spend on a lawyer, but I do have a full-time job @ $13/hour. If I can get on a payment plan I will be able to hire an attorney.

I know I'm rambling... this whole situation has taken a big toll on me this week.

I wanted to thank everyone again for your responses. Many of you put some nice thought into them and I really appreciate it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I believe you when you say that you are not the type of person to steal, but are you the type of person to pee on the floor at a bar? Alcohol can make you do some f'ed up things.

GL to you OP
