I invited them in, and treated them courteously. I think they were genuinely baffled by that. They were pretty nice and spent quite a while trying to talk me out of it. They told me it would be a waste to see it all gone, they would give me more time if I would just agree to leave. The deputies didn't quite know how to handle it.

I remained polite and he was the one to drive me about 30 minutes to the Jail. While we were in his car his mood eventually softened and we got to talking. He had also been through divorce. When arrested by City Police - For a description of what happened, read a letter I wrote soon after . This was truly bizarre.
