They have to notify the family.
Where is Dad?
Then you have various ‘Stepdads’, Uncles and a lot of records have to be sorted through to find them all, even though probably ‘in the system’.
Besides the Mom has to get her story straight on what a good boy her son is and he was trying hard to get ‘back on track’ and he is doing well in 3rd grade but the other kids make fun of him because he is so tall (fact he is 18 may have a bearing here)etc etc etc....

I thought they had a boilerplate for that sort of thing...you know, "honor student, aspiring rapper, blah, blah blah..."

That was no screwdriver. It was his master key. I’m sure he just got confused and went into the wrong apartment by mistake. They all look the same you know.

The dog was not seriously injured.

Good news there.

And it sounds like the cops are getting adequate range time.

Finally, three days paid vacation for saving the taxpayers the costs of a trial and incarceration sounds like a good bargain.

It's bad news to jack with the Cops in Houston.

It isn't a real good prospect to jack with ANYONE in Houston.

Beat me to it! They are always “aspiring rappers” and usually dead in the commission of a crime.

The “Dont Screw with list”
1. A group of Hells Angels
2. A group of Special Forces- Any Branch
3. A cop with a drawn pistol.
4. My Sister after she had a bad day.
5.A rabid racoon.
Feel free to add to the list.

At close quarters, don’t count on it. Yeah, a stick pretty much beats just about anything in close, except maybe a sword, I guess.
