Okay, most of you know I have in the recent past been involved with a moving violation... read on......
Tuesday night around 6:30pm I was in my kitchen fixen some stuff to eat.. lookin outside... saw a truck run a yield sign, and plow right into the front of a Subaru wagon coming down the cross street. Speed limit is 25, residential. The truck was moving fast enough to be tossed head on into the corner of a cement wall holding up an elevated yard. Needless to say the corner of that was very stable. The front of the Ranger truck has a big V in the front of it.
Since I saw it happen, and the guy that got out of the Subaru was waving for help next to the truck, I hit the numbers on the phone and ran to the scene. In the truck is this old lady with her nose broken up so far up her face, you couldnt see her right eye. bad bad bad situation. She also had two dogs in the cab of the truck, one went thru the windshield. Fortunately, she was wearing her seat belt, but it didn't help her in this case as her face hit the steering wheel really hard!
At this point I am the only one on the scene that was not involved. Made sure she stayed still, gave her gauze to put on her face to keep the blood down as much as possible. 10 minutes later the paramedics ONLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY show up, Washington State Police, Klickitat County Sherrif, yada yada.
Being the only witness, they take my name and such. Yay.
Now it is Wednesday evening, my daughter is still in church, I'm watching the war escalade in Iraq. "KNOCK, KNOCK"!!
"Mr. Anderson?"... yes... "Looks like we forgot something last night..." ...what?... "You have a warrant out for your arrest."
Seems that I was a little behind on paying my fines from my moving violation. Because I helped out a nice lady in need of help, I spent the last 24 hours in the County because I gave them my name.
You law enforcement types: I know I was at fault for not keeping my fines up to date, but what kind of incentive to help the public is it if you get your ass handed to you for the same effort??
The 24 hours I spent there was not a cake walk... rapists, domestic violence offenders... and so on. I can handle that crap, the stuff I went through in basic training for the ARMY was alot rougher. My point is I was wrong, but shoulda got some slack for my bravery. I am not an EMT nor am I a nurse. The vision of that lady's face is still haunting me.
I did get my ride in before that, but soon as I got home, I looked at the back tire. Nat Gewd!
