Ever Been Arrested While Kilted?

[vmac3205]

I've worked in the jail for 20+ years and to date, have never seen or heard of anyone coming in kilted. Well, except for my dear spouse, who comes to visit and take me to lunch, sometimes kilted. I have seen several males arrested in female attire, but never a regular kilted guy.

When I was a Deputy in Los Angeles I once arrested a guy in a kilt. I did the customary "up against the wall" but kept my hands outside the kilt. When we got the perp back to West Hollywood (you guess the charge), he was strip searched and issued a boiler suit before being place on the bus to county jail. The kilt was booked as evidence, and the guy plead out before it ever went to court, so I guess he got the kilt back after he did his 30 at Biscaluz. I don't think any LEO would hesitate a heart beat before patting down a kilted suspect.

This Thread was pulled off the forum for review recently and has just now been reinstated. Lets please not have a litany of Criminal charges being discussed, this was not and is not the intent of the original poster.

If this thread does degrade down that road it will be pulled and not reinstated.

Umm yes...

Remember those long days of yesteryear when a lad's courage could take my then his head for drink????

Just click "yes" for me. I'm just very thankful Chicago cops have a good sense of humor

Nope - never been arrested, wearing a kilt or pants. (And I don't ever intend to do anything that would put me in that situation.)

However, I'm working on a book with a friend, and there are four scenes in which folks are either arrested, searched, jailed, waiting in holding, or etc. I've done some research and I understand the process - but I wish I had a better understanding for what it feels like (being in cuffs, searched, etc) and the emotions involved. It would definately add to the book. No, I'm not crazy; proper emotional response and accurate descriptions just make books better.

(If you have specific information for me to consider, rather than clog up the thread, send me an email, im or pm.)

No - but I once spent a weekend in the stocks due to my moral depravity...

But that, as they say, is another story...

Never been arrested, thankfully, but I'm not sure how the cell-mates would react to a kilt. You do hear these stories about prison!
