Criminal in Inside My Head

It’s funny (but not really) when yoy stop and look at your life and realize you would’ve never thought it would be the way that it is. After 33 years of being a law-abiding citizen I was arrested on March 22nd.

My job had a mandatory computer seminar that they sent me nasty emails about for a week. I missed the first one because I was too busy admitting patients from the emergency room to attend. I came to work on my day off. I was going to bring in Sam with me, but he had been sleeping in the car and I knew it would be about 10 minutes. I left him in the car on a 50 degree day in a monitored badge-access only parking lot. Some guy saw me leave the baby in the car and called the police. When I came back out to my car the cops surrounded me like I murdered someone and I was arrested in my hospital parking lot.

The case was dismissed on May 13th because the ‘good Samaritan’ and the cops enhanced details surrounding that day. The hospital parking lot as well as the hospital has cameras which backed my story not theirs. I will have spent $4600 plus 2 months of my life scared out of my mind over a stupid mistake. The fucking cops charged me with a second degree felony over this. The things that the said to me were horrific. Completely unnecessary and downright cruel. While I did so something stupid, I do not believe that my life deserved to be torpedoed over this. Even though it’s over now I still can’t go into detail or think too much about it or I start having panic attacks.
