I was arrested for drinking in public in the aftermath of the Texas Arkansas game in 1965 together with my college roommate. Were we drinking in public? Duh. We appeared in court together in front of “Hanging Judge Ptaki”. We were well dressed and deferential. He inquired if we were students at the University? Yes, your honor. He inquired if we were attentive to our studies? Yes, your honor. He inquired if we attended church? Yes, your honor. Which church did we attend? My roommate reported that he attended the Church of Christ. I said that I attended the Episcopal Church. The Judge asked my roommate if the Church of Christ permitted drinking. Oh no Your Honor, my roommate responded. I knew that my goose was cooked and I was found guilty.
The records of this event were in my permanent military records and always a topic of conversation when I was up for promotion or for renewal of my security clearance. Always got a laugh.
Thanks for the replies, I am going to tell him to go to a lawyer/court. Thanks again.
