So my brother was at work today and the Letchworth State Park Police came in and arrested him!! It's so effing ridiculous, I guess he was caught "trespassing" a few years ago and missed his court date so they sent the cops to pick him up!
First of all his "trespassing" was stepping over an imaginary line because he didn't see the sign that said he couldn't enter that part of the park. He was with his GF and they gave him a ticket and a court date (not her though), I know he should have gone to court but this is a little extreme. What parks department serves warrants? And this State park is about 2 hours from where he works and lives.
Now he gets embarrassed at work, arrested and is being taken to jail ?!?!? I call BS...seriously just send him a fine and be done with it. I would assume when he filed the police report about the mugging his name triggered the warrant, I never heard of parks department serving a warrant. This whole thing stinks of you ask me. And now I'm going to have to go pick him up in Pike NY whenever they let him out,because that's the closest available judge.....awesome.
ps I posted this on my month board too
