We made it home form Cincy and thanks...

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

I had $524 on me, and I think they set it at $10,000, so that I couldn't pay
the 10% down.
i.e., if it was $5000, I could have posted bond myself, with the $524. 

Instead, they converted my cash to a check, and if it wasn't for my debit
card, I would've had no money, for gas, or food.

You're right, Licking County is definitely the WRONG county.

They wrote a bunch of tickets, forcing me to make them prove their case in
court, unless they drop a couple of them.

I would've plead no contest, paid my fines, if it was just 2 tickets.

Btw, they were all misdemeanors, so I'm not a Felon...

WOW!
That's kinda a high bond for speed and expired license.  Did you piss
someone off? What happened at the hearing?  What state you from again?  Our
county would have been $3k max and even if they were mad, the jail is full
so there would have been no arrest.  Summons and vehicle towed.  You got
skinned in the wrong county!

LMK how things turn out.  That really sucks David

Wow! That whole story sucks!
I had no idea Mark was that nice of a guy though. Holy Cow, I'm impressed!

OTOH, what the hell were you doing 110MPH for?
Glad everything came out relatively well in the end!
