Michael Maxwell, Ryan's father, said he raced to court to pick up his son after he was told the boy would be held overnight if he did not arrive before 3:30 p.m.
I can't say that I was ever arrested. However, if I was, the first thing that my parents would have done is come and get me. The above statement implies that this guy's Dad had other things to do.
Perhaps they called him at 3:15pm?
