Last summer my wife and I decided to go to a concert (311 and Snoop Dogg), We arrived parked in Premium Parking and within ten minutes of our arrival, I was arrested for allegedly giving minors alcohol. First of all as a parent this is something I would not do. Not to mention I wouldn't want any adult to give my child alcohol. I wasn't questioned about the incident at all just cuffed and hauled off without being asked a single question. The police and security decided only to listen to two teenage boys and their friends who were parked about 50 feet away from me and for all I know they brought it themselves.
The Mansfield police department or at least the officers who chose to work the detail for the Comcast Center for extra money are incompetent and were enthralled with arresting me. Keep in mind at the end of the night the I was the only male above the age of 21 years of age in the Police dept.
Adding insult my wife was also arrested for disorderly conduct for protesting my arrest and was hauled off as well.
The police report stated that I was drinking which I was not. What I was drinking was Coca Cola from a can, an obvious and often made mistake for Budweiser.
All said and done:
2 tickets to concert $135
Bail money $50
Atty. Fees $1500
Court Fees $1300
Never having to ever go to Mansfield again priceless.
Cons: Mansfield Police, Comcast Center Security, Suffolk County
