What were you arrested for?

Type this phrase into Google (inserting your name) and let us know what you've been locked up for (don't forget the quotation marks)...

"*your first name here* was arrested for".

I got: "On one occasion, Matthew was arrested for ignoring a police officerâ€™s instructions to explain what he was doing, when he was standing motionless outside a pub."

Sounds about right.

Your search - "Cari was arrested for" - did not match any documents.

Apparently I've never been arrested -;)

Everything changed when Michelle was arrested for welfare fraud. She landed in jail for six months, the first time she'd ever been away from her children

and then this one:

In 1999, Steve Kubby and his wife Michele were arrested and faced trial for growing his own cannabis in their home

"I feel really close to a number of [the parents]," says Mary LeBlanc, a 51-year-old Louisiana receptionist whose 17-year-old son Adam was expelled, arrested, chained to the wall of a police station by his ankles and thrown in jail after his younger brother's school bus driver found a drawing in a sketch pad that depicted Adam and his friends attacking the high school with ICBM missiles. "They know exactly where you're coming from and they're very encouraging. It's very difficult to find someone in this community who can sympathize and understand. You find the most comfort from parents who've been through similar things. If I didn't have that, I would've been lost."

Phew - I thought this thread was going to be about REAL life...

*walks away whistling*.

For the avoidance of doubt, the only things I have been arrested for are murder (of good songs when I've attempted to sing) and crimes of fashion (although in mitigation it was the 1980s).

Gillian was arrested for criminal trespass in the first degree. ...

"In 1944, while living in Crakow, she was again denounced, arrested, and executed."

For treason via poetry.

Andrew was arrested for trying to fill a fraudulent prescription and Kreamy singer/ violin-player, Prya, has been on the phone all day & well into the evening trying to find someone with enough collateral to cover Andrewâ€™s $500 bail

That may be the best one yet, Toothpaste

Let's get this straight. David was arrested for no discernible reason, having committed no crime and, in fact, without there having been a crime for him to have been arrested on suspicion of. The charge of 'suspicious behaviour and public nuisance' is a ludicrous accusation, considering that he was doing what the rest of us do every day: waiting for a train.

This was especially fun since it got the gender right. Sympathy points to anyone who immediately knows where this is from...

Carlo was later murdered in 1997 and Mortimer Bern, Carlo's twin, testified that he saw Alex do it. Alex was arrested for the crime, but not before she kidnapped Andy Harrison and held her hostage. Alex made a deal with Todd Manning, she would tell him the full story for The Sun in return for his paying for her legal fees. Todd hired TÃ©a Delgado to defend her, who found enough technical loopholes in the case that the charges against Alex had to be dropped. Alex left town with Mortimer, but it was suspected that it was really Carlo she left with and that Mortimer had been the one who had been killed.

Alex returned to Llanview in 2001 when Asa found her where she was working as a stripper and convinced her that he wanted to marry her again. It was all a diversion, though, and Asa really married Gabrielle Medina (to get back at Max Holden) and locked Alex in a hotel room during the ceremony.

I have no idea, but it sounds like it would make a good movie!

Well, I'm shy, and I don't want to post what my name is, not that it matters, but I'm neurotic that way. Anyway, my name is part of a name of a large city in California, so I got a whole ton of arrests. 1.7 million, in fact. Most of them were run-of-the-mill drug arrests and shootings. There was that incident where I failed to register as an agent of the Democratic People's Republic of China, but this here is the highlight of my rap sheet:

"[she] was arrested for being wildly drunk and grabbing a cop's crotch."

Not exactly goat sex sites with older ladies, but pretty spicy for my neighborhood, all the same.

According to this, I was busy in Nashville

North Precinct detectives have charged 27-year-old Martin George Zarefoss with criminal homicide for the shooting death of his girlfriend inside their Madison residence last week.

I could have gotten that one...I kept thinking, "Todd Manning, where do I know that name from?" He may have been a rapist, and I don't usually dig long hair on guys, but good Lordy, he was hot for the two weeks I watched the show.

And I have not been arrested for anything, sad to say. With any luck, that could change tonight!

No - sorry but this actually happened to So Lack. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson the first time

I thought this was supposed to be fictional!

Bob was arrested for stealing bundles of copper wire and bits of brass and aluminum from a scrap yard in October 1994, six months after his 18th birthday.
